The Church and the Natural World
In the conclusion he requests that the parish read the Benedicite, omnia opera Domini, found on page 11 in The Order for Daily Morning Prayer (and Hymnal #627), which he promises we'll sing in the procession next Rogation Sunday.

O ye Waters that be above the firmament, bless ye the Lord: * praise him, and magnify him for ever.

Happened upon your blog. Good solid Anglican Catholic stuff. I've seen some rather strange stuff out there (people concerned with lace, strange chasubles, among other things). Good to see some good, old fashioned, high church Anglicanism without all the fru fru.

From the perspective of a Druid with a Christian/Baha'i background (different, I realize), your article was truly excellent, and provides what I believe to be the correct perspective of nature. Thank you for educating others on our position as caretakers and stewards.
