This prayer by George Appleton is inspiring a short series of Advent meditations at St. Mary-at-Latton in Harlow.
The prayers of George Appleton are probably not so well-known these days but deserve to be rediscovered.
He was Archbishop of Perth and of Jerusalem after a varied and long ministry which included Burma during the war and Rector of St. Botolph’s Aldgate. The main thrust of his ministry was Mission but he will be best remembered by many as a ‘shaper of souls’ who, through his writings and particularly, his prayers, touched peoples’ hearts of faith and enriched their spirituality, including mine.
