Faith & Worship

Traditional Christian prayers handed down through the ancient scribes and saints, and revealing insights into the rich and varied theology of the early Church. There's a lot to be said from studying early prayers such as these as they provide a continuous link of worship between the early Christians of the first few centuries after the Crucifixion to ourselves. Their content and pattern provide a useful template for the writing of modern prayers.
