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's reflection opens with the anthem "Greater love hath no man than this" by John Ireland. This moving piece was written in 1912 and it resonated strongly across the nation when war broke out in 1914 and casualties soon mounted, particularly the moving line "Great love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." Our reading is a famous section from chapter 14 of the Gospel of John, often read at memorials at St Bride's, as Jesus describes that the way to the Father is through him. Today is Unesco World Press Freedom Day and Alison reflects on its theme this year; our ministry to journalism is one of the key aspects of our work at St Bride's. We close with the hymn "Let all mortal flesh keep silence". The text is from the Liturgy of St James, a Syrian rite thought to have been written by St James the Less, first Bishop of Jerusalem.
