Blessed is an alternative worship community based on the South Coast of the UK. It meets half a dozen times a year to explore the possibilities of the sacramental life in wildly, rabidly inclusive ways.
"Exploring the missional possibilities of the sacramental life, Blesséd characterises itself as outrageously Incarnational, rabidly Anglocatholic and wildly inclusive. We seek to find an encounter with God through Eucharist, Oil, Water, Penitence and Grace which transcends denominational labels and tired, static liturgy in a multimedia engagement with the Divine. Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough"

Fr. Simon is in the latter stages of preparation of a book to be published by SCM-Canterbury entitled Creative Ideas in Sacramental Alternative Worship.
This will provide tutorials on the blesséd process, a theology of sacramental alternative worship and examples of creative liturgy on both the page and on CD-Rom.
The price and exact date of publication is yet to be confirmed.
