The Daily Office Podcast

Joshua 10:12 Lord said-"and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still" (Not Son) I love the daily office- homebound somewhat- I'd love to study and hear the word read and watch the transcript. Share this with my friends inside and outside my church.

This podcast is so immensely helpful. As someone new to the prayer book tradition, it is so great to have someone guiding me through while I read. There are not really any morning prayer services near me so this beats praying alone. Thank you for making this available.

[Note: Google compelled this review, after a search for “Episcopal Daily Office” returned this podcast as a result—an honest mistake by AI working with apocryphal claims and material, as set forth following.] This podcast, “The Daily Office Podcast”, produced by the “Anglican Church in North America” (“ACNA”) is a broadcast neither of the Daily Office nor of the Anglican Communion: [1] The Daily Office, from the Book of Common Prayer, was and is the Reformation-era creation and contribution of the Church of England by Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer in 1549 to all of Christianity, most especially the laity, who gained access to the ministry of the hours thereby; and [2] The member churches (provinces) of the Anglican Communion on the continent of North America are the Anglican Church of Canada, the Episcopal Church USA, the Anglican Church of Mexico, and the Anglican Church of Central America. By contrast, [1] this podcast, “The Daily Office”, relies not upon the Book of Common Prayer or the Daily Office in it, but upon “[ACNA’s] 2019 Book of Common Prayer”; and [2] ACNA created itself by renouncing and seceding from the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion, neither of which even recognizes ACNA. How a group born of its own schism with and secession from its founding church, communion and defining documents, can then honestly claim to be *THE* church of the Anglican Communion for the whole continent, and go on to produce a broadcast of “The Daily Office” that is not even from the Anglican or Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, but ACNA’s 16-year-old hack of it, is beyond me. But it is consistently deceptive. A “schism” is a rip, tear, split, or division, and in ecclesiastical terms, it is a formal and willful separation from the unity of the church. “Heresy” is separation for doctrinal reasons. “Imposture” is the practice of deceiving others by assuming a false identity or title. If one were creating a word-cloud for this podcast and its producers, these terms would appear prominently. But what is the effect of schism, potential heresy, and imposture on the material misrepresented and then broadcast as “The Daily Office”? Caveat auditor.

So thankful for this pod. I do my morning prayers on the way to work!
