Church of England Daily Prayer
The Church of England has a long tradition of daily prayer, and all are encouraged to follow the same prayers and readings, so that even as we pray on our own, we are in fact praying with the worldwide church. You can find today's prayers here:
Compline from Radley Vicarage

|
|
The ancient office of Compline derives its name from a Latin word meaning 'completion' (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day. It is most effective when the ending is indeed an ending, without additions, conversation or noise. If the service is in church, those present depart in silence; if at home, they go quietly to bed.
