Ray Simpson’s daily prayer tweet @praycelticdaily profiles him as A Celtic New Monastic for Tomorrow's World. He is the Founding Guardian of the international Community of Aidan and Hilda (a dispersed inter-church movement which is also an Acknowledged Anglican Community).
Since ordination, nearly 40 years ago, John has been a parish priest; Senior Selection Secretary at Church House, Westminster; Director of Ordinands, and Canon at Southwark Cathedral.
Services for Special Occasions provides 47 service outlines for those occasions and subjects that are not generally provided for in most authorised liturgical collections. As well as joyful events such as the celebration of people who help in church, or birth, there are services for more sensitive subjects such as dementia or redundancy.This book provides an invaluable resource for all who seek to offer relevant and meaningful worship to people in their joy but also in their distress or confusion.
