Day
of Prayer at
Once
a year Westminster Abbey closes to visitors on a Saturday
for a day of prayer. This year it is to be on Saturday 14th
January starting at 10.00am. No tickets are required.
Just go to the main door at the west end of the Abbey
between the two towers and tell the vergers you have come
for the day of prayer and they will show you to the choir
or transepts.
Usually
there is an opening act of worship with perhaps three
addresses. This year they are to be given by the Revd.
John D. Miller, a former Moderator of the General
assembly of the Church of Scotland on Three Mysteries:
Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection. In between the
addresses there is quiet in the abbey and one is free to
wander about as one pleases.
Coffee
and soup are served in the cloisters. It’s good to
bring a packed lunch and to wear warm clothes. The day
end with Evensong sung at
Christopher
Morgan - Jones
