Today marks the end of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, on the theme of Be-Longing: Praying for Unity amidst Injustice. Every year, this week helps us to focus our prayer on the unity of the Body of Christ.
For many years, it has also been the opportunity to gather together with our brothers and sisters of Mucknell, at either of our monasteries. The Society of the Salutation of Mary the Virgin at Mucknell Abbey is an Anglican Benedictine community of monks and nuns based in Worcestershire.
On Sunday January 22nd then, we had the joy of going to Mucknell.
The community treated us to a sumptuous tea before we all went to pray Vespers together in their lovely church. A big thank you to Abbot Thomas and the whole community for their warm welcome and hospitality.
