I've attended a weekly Evensong for years, so I've learned the patterns of Evening Prayer pretty well. Fortunately a temporary job situation has taken me to a neighborhood where Morning and Evening Prayer are recited daily in a parish church, so when I want company, it's only a couple of miles away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10205805.post-1165253130583715262006-12-04T12:25:00.000-05:002006-12-04T12:25:00.000-05:00H'P,Daily Bible reading is a wonderful discipline,...H'P,<BR/><BR/>Daily Bible reading is a wonderful discipline, usually overlooked discipline. I think the very best method divsed by Christians is, frankly, the Anglican Daily Office. It is a two-year cycle, and I recommend it be supplemented by regular study of particular books for historical context, etc. But the Daily Office has the benefit of combining Bible Reading, Psalmody, and preparatory prayer, as well as intercession, etc.<BR/><BR/>I've added a link to the DAily Office book in the devotional books section of the sidebar. It is very helpful, as it contains all of the Bible readings in order throughout the two year cycle.<BR/><BR/>The Daily Office is challenging to learn, but like everything else, practice and persistence pays off, and it is a discpline that will be richly, richly rewarding throughout your life.<BR/><BR/>And if you can't manage actually to pray the office, you could use the Daily Office books just to read the readings each day.gwbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00126771210414634962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10205805.post-1165246012819866762006-12-04T10:26:00.000-05:002006-12-04T10:26:00.000-05:00I started daily Bible reading as a Lenten discipli...I started daily Bible reading as a Lenten discipline in 2003. 2006 is the year that I finally will have read the King James version cover to cover. Any thoughts pro/con on The One Year Bible as a way to encourage fellow parishioners to step up their Bible reading?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
