Start-Stop : A Song for Anna

A Song for Simeon - by Edward McKnight Kauffer to accompany T.S.Eliot's poem, 1928

Start Stop at St Stephen Walbrook offers the chance for busy commuters to start their day by stopping to pray and reflect for ten minutes. Reflections start every quarter of an hour on Tuesday mornings from 7.45am with the last reflection starting at 9.00am. This is the script of my reflection from Tuesday 4th February 2020.

Hypapante (The Meeting of the Lord)

The Thursday lunchtime Choral Eucharist at St Stephen Walbrook follows the lectionary for the preceding Sunday, so today we celebrated Candlemas. During his sermon, Reverend Stephen Baxter explained that in the Orthodox church this feast is also known as Hypapante – or The Meeting of the Lord.
