Hello all. I am looking at getting one of the two Monastic Diurnals above. I've read the reviews here and was wondering if anyone could provide any updated info.
I currently own two paperback Lutheran Monastic Diurnals but I would like to buy a nice quality imitation leather one at the very least.
I like the Abbey one due to its shape and that they have the latin (even though i'm not sure how much I would use the latin) but the language in the Lancelot definitely seems more moving. I do like that there is a Matins companion to the lancelot one.
Any thoughts or opinions? Are either publishing company planning on putting out an updated edition soon and I should just wait?
Any insights or photos into them would be greatly appreciated!
Does the book contain a guide for adapting it to the 1962 EF or is there a guide for this somewhere? I have been told the front of the Diurnal contains information on the calendar 1955-1962, but I need to know for sure before buying. Owners, please help. Thank you and God bless.
I’ve scoured their website and can’t find anything. I need to get in touch with them, as they recently sent me four books when I only ordered two. I’d like to email them about sending the extra books back; I don’t need two Diurnals and two St Dunstan’s Psalters.
Anyone else here praying from this excellent book?
I'm an Orthodox Christian who uses the Western Rite BCP from Lancelot Andrewes Press in my private prayer rule. I'm wanting to add hymns to my praying of the Daily Office, but not sure where the best place to add them. I don't suppose it ultimately matters as it is a private devotion, but I was wondering what you all might think about it, have experienced, etc?
Edit: I'm speaking of hymns that are found outside of the canticles included in the text itself.
Does anyone here use the Western Rite Monastic Diurnal put out by Lancelot Andrewes Press?
Do you like it? Does it meet your needs? Worth the money so to speak?
So as my display name shows, I am an Anglican Christian. And I have posted a lot about Christianity in general and even other traditions. But not much about my own. I thought I would lay out some facts and principles about the Anglican tradition that many might find interesting. So here goes:
(i)Anglicanism is Creedal
- When I say Creedal, I mean it is a Christian tradition that recites the historic creeds of Christendom, namely the Nicene and Apostle's Creed and also the Athanasian Creed on Trinity Sunday. In this sense it would be a lot like the Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed traditions.
(ii)Anglicanism is a tradition of the Prayer Book
- If there is one thing about Anglican identity that is primarily it is our liturgical tradition and in particular our tradition of the Prayer Book. The most famous and well known being the Book of Common Prayer.
- That name "Common Prayer" is interesting it itself. Because in other traditions what unites people to that tradition is a particular confession of faith. So in Lutheranism for example you have the Augsburg Confession of Faith. In the Reformed and Presbyterian tradition you have the Westminister Confession of Faith. Anglicanism does have its confessions but what's interesting is that its not the Confession itself that is seen as the uniting factor. It is a Common Prayer. This is important because the context Anglicanism is coming out of is one where you have people with both Catholic and Protestant sensibilities as well as differences among Protestants. Book of Common Prayer is meant to bring people with different theological sensibilities to a Common Prayer and liturgy.
- The Prayer Book sets out a whole way of life for the Christian in terms of their prayer life, which is very structured and rigorous. The central feature of the Book of Common Prayer is the Daily Office. Essentially Morning and Evening Prayer. A key feature of these are the Psalms which are sung. There are usually assigned Psalms along with the readings from the Old and New Testament. The Psalms themselves alone could be a prayer when it comes to the Book of Common Prayer and what the Book actually encourages Christians to do is to go through the Psalms once a month as part of their daily prayer. This actually comes from a monastic discipline which Anglican theologians took and gave for the average Christian.
(iii)Anglicanism operates on the principle of "Lex Orandi Lex Crendi"
- This is a phrase that goe
I’ve seen people say both so was just curious, the Old High Church party with people like William Laud and Lancelot Andrewes fascinates me. I heard from someone that “English Arminianism” isnt what actual Arminianism is and instead just meant not Calvinist.
I recently visited an OCA parish, and I noticed something strange about the Iconostasis. On the frame around the Holy Doors, there were two teeny tiny little icons, next to the icons of Christ and Mary, but like on the actual door frame columns. I believe they were also just mini Christ and Mary icons.
What’s the story/purpose behind these?
I also saw an icon from Lancelot Andrewes Press that had one of these tiny icons integrated directly on the icon itself, on the left border:

Inspired somewhat by an earlier comment thread but also by the fact that people are constantly surprised when I mention that [insert name of famous scholar/theologian] is Anglican.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
