Notes and queries. We have introduced a new Notes & Queries page in order to help draw together your questions and comments in one place. You can still add comments about individual hymns or lectionary suggestions on the relevant posts, and all your previous comments remain where you put them (as well as on the Recent Comments page). But, from now on, if you can’t find an existing answer to your question then Notes & Queries is the place to go.

FAQs: “Can I reproduce the material on this site?” This and many other questions answered on our new Frequently asked questions page.
