The Radio 4 morning service today was from St George's Chapel, Windsor and was a service of Matins. Matins is not as common these days as it once was so it was good to hear it done well.
I particularly liked the old language of the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
The C of E needs to hold onto the traditions of the past. I doubt that other faiths have updated their prayers for years!
