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 August 10th, 2009

The London Branch continues to meet at 11.30 each first Wednesday of the month. This is at the Guild Church of St. Magnus the Martyr, Lower Thames Street by kind invitation of Fr. Philip Warner. We normally have a session of Bible study and continue the ancient devotion to Our Lady of the Salve Regina, then have a packed lunch and exchange news of various Christian and Marian events in the near future. Sometimes we join Fr. Warner at his eucharist at St Mary Abchuch, or we may have a talk instead, either from one of the members, or someone that they recommend. We had a priest from Nigeria, who told us of his ongoing work as a radio missionary, and we have two talks to come. Paul Dewbury was to speak about Mary in the Scandinavian churches at our June meeting, and Alan Watson about his pilgrimage to the churches of eastern Turkey in the autumn.
