kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth

Who is your virtual neighbour? Social networkers given guidance to stop, think and act for change this Lent

The Church of England is making a very real attempt to embrace the latest internet trends. This year’s Love Life Live Lent campaign is appearing on the Social Networking sites too. Here’s what they have to say on the Church of England site:

This Lent, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, Dr Rowan Williams and Dr John Sentamu, are calling for ‘good neighbours’ - online and offline - to try out daily suggestions to help create a safer and more pleasant environment in the real world.

The innovative campaign will use popular social networking websites and blogs to share actions to make the world a better place in small and simple ways. These range from leaving a thank-you note for your postie to going a whole day without gossiping.

Last year, more than 130,000 people joined in with Love Life Live Lent, launched by the Church of England to inspire, by text message, simple acts of service that spread happiness in our communities.

Candlemas Chant

I really enjoy a well sung chant; and this is a well sung chant. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as me.

The Sequence for Candlemas, sung to Dominican chant by the Dominican friars at Blackfriars, Oxford.
