Valiant for Truth: Journalists' Commemorative Service 2024 by St Bride's Church, Fleet Street

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

This week Alison talks about a woman she knew who earned her respect and admiration for her steadfast commitment to an incredibly challenging job.

The reflection opens with the hymn 'Love divine, all loves excelling' and concludes as St Bride's Choir sing Richard Dering's anthem 'Factum est silentium.' It is a dramatic setting of a text for the feast of St Michael and All Angles – which we celebrate this Sunday – and vividly conveys the silence in heaven as the Archangel Michael joins in battle with the dragon.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

This week Alison reflects on the insights that a child's perspective and approach to life can bring us.

The reflection opens with the hymn 'Praise my soul, the King of heaven' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Olivier Messiaen's 'O sacrum convivium'. Music for Messiaen was a way of expressing his Christian faith but surprisingly this short anthem is his only liturgical motet.

Join The Revd Canon Dr Alison Joyce, Rector of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

This week Alison reflects on the power of words to bring a hidden truth to light, a particularly important thought here at the Journalists' Church.

The reflection opens with the hymn 'All my hope on God is founded' and concludes with St Bride's Choir singing Claudio Monteverdi's 'Christe adoramus te' – a short but moving work published in 1620 and setting a devotional text from a Books of Hours.

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest at St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music.

This week Steve tackles a theological conundrum – The Trinity.

The reflection opens with the hymn 'I bind unto myself this day' – also known as St Patrick's breastplate – and concludes with Thomas Attwood's anthem, 'Turn thy face from my sins', a setting of words from Psalm 51, sung by St Bride's Choir. Attwood (1765–1838) was sent abroad to study through the patronage of the Prince of Wales (later to become George IV) where he studied under Mozart.
