Did you know the Church of England has a special prayer for the Beijing Olympics?

Well now you do! I quite like it too though perhaps posting it here with my rather international flist I should remove line three)

That's one of the things I love about being an Anglican!

[morganmuffle]

*g*

We are good at having a prayer for every occasion!

[willowmina]

Psst - can you get the BBC Live feed of the ceremony on your PC...?

[morganmuffle]

Thank you for the thought but sadly no, we don't have the right flash whatever it is and now we're all on a network I don't have the rights to download such stuff *sighs long sufferingly*

Mind you justr eading about it is surreal enough!

Why are the health and safe-keeping of those representing Great Britain more important than the same of those representing other countries?

[morganmuffle]

Well they're not of course but I guess as it is the Church of England (not even just the Anglican communion) it's not ENTIRELY surprising it emphasises the Brits. That's why I said perhaps I should have edited that line out.

[b_liz]

Sorry! Missed the line about missing it out!

Was going to make some sarky comment about God being British (English), of course, but couldn't find the right words!

[morganmuffle]

Well of course he is, have you not seen the words of Jerusalem?

*rolls eyes*

Still it's a nice prayer otherwise! And we're allowed a little bit of National pride *g*
