FORWARD... day by day
All in my previous parish will know that I was a big supporter of Forward Movement Publications and of their daily bible study booklet, "Forward Day by Day."
I was overjoyed this week to have received a stack of the little booklets for my current parish of Wicklow, Wilmot, Peel and Aberdeen. It seems that they have been using this for a while as well. Though sometimes the reflections are a bit culturally "American" (examples abound but none come to mind at present; obviously no slight is intended to our southern neighbors), I find the books to be of great theological value and by far better than the simplistic "Daily Bread" (I also encourage this to be used but for Christians coming to faith or early in their spiritual journey). An added bonus is that it follows the two year Anglican Daily Office (not to be confused with the single year BCP Office cycle).
My goodness after all that confusion it is a wonder anyone desires to follow a cycle... yet Forward Movement has made it easy for computer nerds like us, there is an online version of Forward Day by Day. Click the previous and worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness!
PLEASE REMEMBER click on this link daily, or bookmark it, to get the reading of the day, and know that you join many Anglicans, other faithful servants, and most clerics who say, or who have said, that very reading as part of their daily pattern of worship.
