Good morning from the end of Winter, the beginning of Spring, and everything in between — here in the northern suburbs of Chicago! The arrival of Revelation for the Rest of Us this week was a highlight. Thanks to Cody Matchett for writing with me, and to our generous endorsers.
Thank you for your update on the Jesus Revolution. Lonnie was a gay man and publications suggest this led to rejection by the Church which started through him. He died of AIDS and this seems little recorded in Christian circles. I am so sad that he was rejected and sad that reports suggest the film does not include the facts of what Lonnie went through. I wondered if those who have seen the film have a view on that. I would like to go to see it to be encouraged by the film. I am encouraged by the powerful move of the Spirit for Lonnie and the people touched by that move. I want to be encouraged by moves of the Spirit and try not to be affected by abusive behaviours I have witnessed as people mess things up in the Church.
Also appreciating using the Collects of the Book of Common Prayer each day this last month. You are so right- all that theology and spot on prayers crammed into 3 sentences. What a resource! I bought an Australian book (1984) secondhand online and it gives you 2 choices of the collects each week. Quite handy to intersperse through the week.

Thank you
I would like to start using the BCP, but there are so many different options available. Can you suggest something easy to follow on my own?
A search for Anglican BCP has not been fruitful.
Thank you!
