OUTSTANDING PARISH CHURCH WEBSITE

As Cranmer's Curate blogs off for a week's break, he leaves the youth group with an outstanding parish church website to peruse - that of All Saints' Fordham near Colchester, Essex.

He also leaves the youth group with the Collect for Bible Sunday. Your curate may be nit-picking but he doesn't like the way the Common Worship version of the Collect puts 'scriptures' with a small 's' unlike the BCP which capitalises it, as it does with 'Word'. Cc thinks the lower case leaves a possible way open to the recognition of the putative 'holy scriptures' of other religions:
Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
