Listening to St Peter's choir sing Bob Chilcott’s ‘My Prayer’ at Matins recently was a wonderful and awe inspiring experience. Having studied the piece for many weeks as a choir member, I was unfortunate to be unable to sing on that occasion, but fortunate to be an informed congregational listener. ‘My Prayer’ is Chilcott’s homage to ‘Hear my Prayer’ by Purcell.

Some months ago, there were rumours that the Archbishop of Canterbury would step down earlier than might ordinarily have been expected, but the announcement of his decision has already set the Church alight with speculation about who his successor might be.

Not that I want to be seen to be endorsing products, but a certain online site which encourages business people to join and link up with others, is proving to be an intriguing concept. When this site first appeared, I thought of it as nothing more than an elaborate business card holder and I wasn’t sure of its potential use. However, as far as promoting the name of the workplace chaplaincy, it has been very useful. As with most of these sites, if they are used wisely, they can be useful tools. I have had people contact me quickly and easily when quite honestly, contacts wouldn’t previously have been made.

As I write (mid January) there is a serious debate between London and Edinburgh about the Scottish Nationalist Party’s intention to hold a referendum on the subject of independence and the future of the United Kingdom. This necessarily involves discussions about all sorts of issues including currency, defence and sovereignty including, obviously, the Sovereign.
