The Diocese of Rupert’s Land has been the grateful recipient of a Calvin Vital Worship, Vital Preaching Grant. This Lilly funded grant program provides funds to church groups to engage in year-long initiatives to inspire vitality in our worshipping life together. Our team’s proposal, to explore the poetic sensibility of Anglicanism, has been funded for this year and we are excited to share a bit about the events coming to Rupert’s Land this year.
Anglicans claim that what we believe is encapsulated in how we pray. Core to Anglican prayer and belief is the poetic language of the Book of Common Prayer and especially, the psalms. This poetic mediation of our theology has inspired generations of Anglicans with the beauty of holiness and has given rise to a distinctive Anglican poetic sensibility. In an effort to inspire a renewed love of the way beauty and poetry reveal God's truth to us through our worship, we plan to implement a year of educational programming around the theme of Anglican poetics. This will include workshops, retreats, classes, and lectures held in various parishes across the diocese, particularly focused on the education of our lay ministers.
