Church Of Ireland To Launch New App
The Church of Ireland is to launch its new app today, 10 May.
The Book of Common Prayer is being transformed into a digital format and will see the church move into the modern age.
The Daily Worship App is an initiative by the Church's Central Communication Board, in close cooperation with the Church's Liturgical Advisory Committee.
The Most Revd Pat Storey, Chair of the Central Communications Board, said: "I am delighted to launch this new aid to our devotional life. It is a powerful thing for a community such as the Church of Ireland to be praying together, and using the same daily readings, through the vehicle of a smartphone application. This app aims to help us in our personal and communal prayer lives, and to bring us closer together as a church family, and to the God whom we worship. The Central Communications Board hopes that this will be a catalyst for a deeper devotional life all across our Church."
