Beginning the year, with an excerpt of a letter from Corraine Haines, from the City Mission, in regards to the Back To School programme

The Magnificat, Mary’s Song of Praise

The Magnificat, Mary’s Song of Praise
Rev Simon Green, Priest-in-Charge

In the Middle Ages Mary's Song inspired the Feast of Fools celebrated after Christmas usually around New year. This feast was a literal acting out of the Magnificat as a rather strange way of witnessing to God’s kingdom that inverts human power structures and raises up the oppressed to places of honour.
