Prayers & Meditations
|
|
This
section of the site is devoted to developing a variety of prayers and
meditations which it is hoped can be used in personal and collective
contemplation and worship. It is very much a work in progress! The Lord’s Prayer
in Anglo Saxon & Modern English Prayers for
Meetings & Gatherings |

This
is often over played by modern liberal Christians to the extent that many
non-Christians perceive it as a religion of weakness. This is not true,
especially of the Saxon influenced Christianity that formed the basis of
traditional English Christianity ‘Might is Right’ is no basis for a decent
society. ‘Right is Might’ is the Christian response. Dealing with issues in a
peaceful, civilised manner whenever possible. But traditional Christianity
does not say bow down and let them kill you and enslave your family. The
concept of the ‘Just War’ came out of the Christian notion that sometimes you
have no choice but to resort to physical violence, but that there should be a
good reason for this and that the force used is not overly excessive in terms
of what is needed to achieve the goals. Christians
may not always have dealt with enemies in full accord with Christian
teachings. But that is the fault of human frailty not the Christian teaching
- which is intended to curb the excesses of what humans all too obviously can
do to each other. |
