Notes from the Balcony

Ongoing comment and dialogue on being a new church in a new world - A Blog by John Montgomery

[The Bible] is not, for a start, a list of rules, though it contains many commandments of various sorts and in various contexts. Nor is it a compendium of true doctrines, though, of course, many parts of the Bible declare great truths about God, Jesus, the world and ourselves in no uncertain terms. Most of its constituent parts, and all of it when put together (whether in the Jewish canonical form or the Christian form), can best be described as story. This is a complicated and much-discussed theme, but there is nothing to be gained by ignoring it. - N.T. Wright

Evening Prayer










God our Guardian and our Guide
(An Evening Prayer)

God our Guardian and our Guide
Shatter all our selfish pride.
Pray, redeem us, recreate us
For the coming day.

Rule of Justice, Christ - our Life
Heal our warfare, quiet our strife.
Pray, redeem us, recreate us
For the coming day.

Sign of Mercy, Christ - our Way
Cleanse our hearts, our fears allay.
Pray, redeem us, recreate us
For the coming day.

Source of Wisdom, Christ - our Light
Lead us through the darkest night.
Pray, redeem us, recreate us
For the coming day.

God our Guardian and our Guide
Shatter all our selfish pride
Pray, redeem us, recreate us
For the coming day.
