I personally love the hymn Jerusalem: we sang it at my wedding, and I certainly do not discourage couples from having it at their weddings. Those who do object to it really havn’t thought about the lyrics. Those who bellow it out over the rugby field or at the Last Night of the Proms have completely missed…

Blesséd, Praised, Hallowed and Adored, be Our Lord Jesus Christ on his throne of Glory and in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar Hail to thee, true body born From Virgin Mary’s womb! The same that on the cross was nailed And bore for man the bitter doom. Thou, whose side was pierced and…
Text: Luke 24:13-35 In the name of the +Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I have not had the opportunity, quite regrettably really, to travel the world extensively, to visit exotic places and encounter strange cultures.
