ESBVM

The Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary


  • The Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary (ESBVM) exists to advance the study at various levels of the place of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Church, under Christ and of related theological questions; and in the light of such study to promote ecumenical devotion. Its aim is to show that, in the Blessed Virgin Mary, Christians of many traditions may find a focus in their search for unity.
    Prayer for the Society God our Father, through the Blessed Virgin Mary you gave your Son to be our Redeemer; send your blessing on the Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary; so that strengthened by your grace, enlivended by by your Spirit, and renewed in the One whom Mary bore, your Church may grow in the unity You desire. We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord.

London Branch report

Posted by esbvm on July 31st, 2007

The London branch continues to meet on the first Wednesday of each month at St Magnus the Martyr, thanks to the kind hospitality of Fr. Philip Warner, the parish priest. This year, we have had a couple of talks, one by Alan Watson on the church in Armenia, and one by Amanda Hill on Cardinal Newman. Otherwise, we continue to discuss a chapter of the New Testament. We have just begun St Luke’s Gospel. When our day coincides with Ash Wednesday or a feast we visit St Mary Abchurch, another church under Fr. Philip’s care for an Anglican eucharist. The meeting normally concludes with the Guild Service of the Salve Regina and a shared packed lunch. Anyone on the London area on a first Wednesday is welcome to join us.
