The Eve of the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Candlemas)
Brigid of Kildare
O God, whose servant Brigid, kindled with the flame of your love, became a shining light in your church: Grant that we also may be aflame with the spirit of love and discipline, and walk before you as children of light; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Each month, Father Turner records an audio message which is a personal theological reflection on a particular topic. Sometimes it is about the season or festival being celebrated at Saint Thomas Church, sometimes a reflection on the life of the church in other parts of the world and at other times something that is in the news. These messages are posted toward the end of each month. Be sure to check latest news for updates.
The Rector’s Reflection for February 2016
Canon Turner reflects on the growth of religious orders as a result of the Oxford Movement in the mid to late 19th Century, their involvement with social care, and the poignant fact that many of these orders no longer exist. He also reflects on the witness of religious and, in particular, the so-called ‘Martyrs of Memphis’.
