Here’s an alternative evening worship service at Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Richmond VA. They describe it as
a service of Celtic Evensong with Holy Communion. Our Celtic worship is drawn from the liturgical traditions of Iona and Northumbria, and the music at these services is contemplative, lively and haunting. The prayers are at once earthy, holy and inclusive. This service has been well received not only by St. Stephen’s parishioners, but includes worshipers from other churches in the area, as well as those with little or no religious background. All are welcome at this service.
The Celtic service includes healing prayer for those who desire it.
