Anglicans gather in parish churches and other places to form local groups of faith and learning, and to share holy communion. We worship Jesus Christ as Lord and in our praying. We find outselves drawn into the holy mystery of God's presence.

When Anglicans gather for worship we hear the scriptures read and explained and pray together using authorised prayer books - the most recent was issued in 1995 - so that everyone can join in, and so that common prayer becomes a familiar part of spiritual life. But Anglicans respect diverse styles of worship, formal and mystical, family or youth events with lots of singing and activity, or a quiet early morning service, for example.

    Lent traditionally involved denying yourself some food over seven weeks, hence Pancake Day, the day before the official beginning of Lent, provided an opportunity for a final ‘pig out’. Whilst that custom is seen by many as old fashioned, some Lenten traditions are too valuable in a personal sense to be casually disregarded.
