Expanded-language texts for references to God General softening of language to avoid masculine nouns and images in Psalms and other texts Can be used by clergy and lay people, across denominations, who are looking for a daily regimen of prayer and Bible reading Special appeal to women and men who are sensitive to issues of inclusive language Offers the full beauty of structured monastic prayer in the Anglican tradition Designed for use with the Bible, in a translation of personal choice Can also be used as a manual of devotion without Bible readings The rich tradition of monastic prayer, dating back to the earliest days of the desert hermits in the third century, has been the foundational daily prayer of the Church for most of its existence. Many individuals who are not members of religious communities cherish this tradition and use elements of it for their own daily prayer, and adapted breviaries have been popular sellers to targeted markets for more than a century. Over the past several years, the Order of Saint Helena, a community of women in the Episcopal Church, spent a great deal of time and energy in revising their office book. High on the list of priorities for the revision was the broadening of language to avoid masculine imagery when referring to God. This personal edition of The Saint Helena Breviary has been adapted for use by individual readers who set aside one or more times for prayer in the midst of their busy lives.

Saint Helena is an isolated volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, located approximately 1,200 miles west of the coast of Africa. The island was discovered by the Portuguese in 1502 and was later occupied by the British in 1659, becoming an important British outpost during the 19th century. Saint Helena is known for being the final resting place of the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte, who was exiled on the island from 1815 until his death in 1821. Today, the island is a British Overseas Territory with a population of approximately 4,000 inhabitants. Despite its remote location, Saint Helena has a rich history and culture. The island's isolation has contributed to the development of a distinct culture and language known as "Saints English", which is a mixture of English, Portuguese, and African dialects. In addition to Napoleon's tomb, the island is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Jacob's Ladder staircase, which has 699 steps, and the 16th century Plantation House, which serves as the residence of the island's governor. Today, Saint Helena's economy is largely dependent on tourism, as visitors come to explore the island's natural beauty and rich history.

The town of St. Helena lies in the heart of Napa Valley, Americas celebrated wine-producing region located 63 miles north of San Francisco. In 1854, Henry Still and a Mr. Walters purchased 126 acres from the Mexican land grant of Dr. Edward Bale. They offered free lots to anyone who would start a business there, having the foresight to predict a flourishing town in this verdant agricultural area. Premium wine grapes were planted here by the 1870s, and a thriving wine industry began. There are two theories about how the town got its name: either from the local division of the Sons of Temperance or from Mount St. Helena at the northern end of the valley. As the town developed, its residents, along with those from nearby Oakville, Rutherford, Angwin, and Pope Valley, shopped at its stores, attended its churches and schools, tended its fields, and made merry at numerous gatherings. This book captures these activities in photographs dating from 1880 to 1960.

PSALM 84 1 How dear to me is your dwelling, o God of hosts!* My soul has a desire and longing for your courts; My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God 2 The sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young,* by the side of your altars, O God of hosts, my Ruler and my God. 3 Happy are they who dwell in your house;* they will always be praising you. For several years, the sisters of The Order of Saint Helena, a monastic community in the Episcopal Church, have been revising their services of worship. The primary goal of the revision is opening up the human vocabulary of prayer and expanding the ways in which we name and worship God. This version of the Psalter, based upon the translation in the Book of Common Prayer, softens the exclusively male Hebrew terminology for the Creator God and recasts texts in ways that avoid the need for a he (or she) personal pronoun.

A history of St Helena, which is an account of Britain's most remote and second oldest colony. Once the hub of South Atlantic trade routes and the vital ocean oasis for homeward-bound East Indiamen, its history, punctuated by Napoleon's brief exile, is a saga of fortitudes, follies and frustrations.
