Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison talks about a woman she knew who earned her respect and admiration for her steadfast commitment to an incredibly challenging job. The reflection opens with the hymn 'Love divine, all loves excelling' and concludes as St Bride's Choir sing Richard Dering's anthem 'Factum est silentium.' It is a dramatic setting of a text for the feast of St Michael and All Angles – which we celebrate this Sunday – and vividly conveys the silence in heaven as the Archangel Michael joins in battle with the dragon.

Welcome to Anthem 38 in my attempt to write a new choir anthem every week for a year. I'm Kevin Mulryne and I hope you will enjoy listening to my progress throughout 2024. Please do visit the website Anthem52.com, follow along on x.com - @realanthem52 or Instagram - @realanthem52 and send me a message to show@anthem52.com. It was good to return to Holy Trinity Church with the choir this week, even if it wasn't with Charlotte whose Coventry musical life is just getting going. As I write this, she is preparing for an audition to join the Coventry Cathedral Chorus - I'm sure she will enjoy that a great deal. It was Ollie's (our new interim Director of Music) first Sunday with the choir and we sang Choral Evensong. It went well. I'm looking forward to having some of my own anthems added to the choir's repertoire...one day...  This week was a bit more of a struggle than last week, in terms of composition. It started off fine as I suddenly remembered that the main criterion of anthem competition I entered earlier in the year was to set words by Isaac Watts, the prolific 18th Century writer. I went back to the source I used to find the text for that anthem and rediscovered an enormous collection of words. 824 texts are mentioned with many linked to on the single page: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/w/a/t/t/watts_i.htm As well as hymn words, Watts wrote more poetic texts and I chose a short one from Hymns and Spi­ri­tu­al Songs, Book 2, 1707–09, num­ber 26. Here are the words (I missed out one verse):   Words for Anthem 38: Lord, we are blind, we mor­tals blind, We can't be­hold Thy bright abode; O 'tis be­yond a crea­ture's mind To glance a thought half way to God. Infinite leagues be­yond the sky The great Eter­nal reigns alone, Where nei­ther wings nor souls can fly, Nor an­gels climb the top­less throne. Yet, glo­ri­ous Lord, Thy gra­cious eyes Look through, and cheer us from above; Beyond our praise Thy grand­eur flies, Yet we ad­ore, and yet we love.

This service of Choral Evensong, sung by the Cathedral Schola, observes the Feast of St. Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist. The officiant and preacher is the Rev. Canon Julia Mitchener.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Alison reflects on the insights that a child's perspective and approach to life can bring us. The reflection opens with the hymn 'Praise my soul, the King of heaven' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Olivier Messiaen's 'O sacrum convivium'. Music for Messiaen was a way of expressing his Christian faith but surprisingly this short anthem is his only liturgical motet.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

The reflection opens with the hymn 'All my hope on God is founded' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Claudio Monteverdi's 'Christe adoramus te' – a short but moving work published in 1620 and setting a devotional text from a Books of Hours.

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest at St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. This week Steve tackles a theological conundrum – The Trinity. The reflection opens with the hymn 'I bind unto myself this day' – also known as St Patrick's breastplate – and concludes with Thomas Attwood's anthem, 'Turn thy face from my sins', a setting of words from Psalm 51, sung by St Bride's Choir. Attwood (1765–1838) was sent abroad to study through the patronage of the Prince of Wales (later to become George IV) where he studied under Mozart.

"Wherever you are on the spectrum of human gender, God is big enough to meet you there." Sermon by Charissa Simmons, Canon for Spiritual Formation, recorded live at Choral Evensong on Sunday, May 5, 2024.

The Rev. Rob Fisher, Rector of St. John's, Lafayette Square, speaks at a Service of Choral Evensong on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

Israeli troops are set to advance into the Gazan city of Rafah, defying international pleas to reconsider. Some 1.4 million Palestinians are sheltering there. The UK House of Bishops is calling for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict. The Sunday programme spoke to Bishop of Worchester Dr John Inge.Sir Keir Starmer has defended his handling of the antisemitism row in his party as a Muslim candidate is withdrawn from the race in Rochdale. William Crawley speaks to Marc Levy - the chief executive of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester and Mohammed Shafiq, National Executive Committee member of PCS Union and Chief Executive and founding member of the Ramadhan Foundation which is one of the UK's leading Muslim youth organisations.Church buildings have opened their doors and held public events for centuries; Choral Evensong, Classical concerts and in more recent times, Lego building and Crazy Golf. But this year, many cathedrals across the country are taking it a step further and hosting 80s, 90s and 00s themed ‘Silent Discos'. Canterbury Cathedral recently hosted two sold-out nights with an attendance of 3,000 people at £25 per ticket. But not everyone agrees. Some critics have questioned whether this is an ‘appropriate' use of sacred space, and a petition campaigning against the events has amassed over two thousand signatures. So what is an ‘appropriate' use of a sacred space? William Crawley speaks to the Dean of St Albans, Jo Kelly-Moore.Presenter: William Crawley Producers: Bara'atu Ibrahim and Linda Walker Production Coordinator: David Baguley Editor: Tim Pemberton
