The Church of England has a free app with the Daily Office texts for each day that you can download. Otherwise, I would recommend getting a copy of the BCP (whichever version -- traditional or contemporary language -- you prefer) and familiarizing yourself with the offices. There are various options for developing a routine that works for you. The first step is getting acquainted with the BCP, though. If you have any questions about it, feel free to get in touch.
Thank you for this; a collaboration between you and Sauter was something I didn't know I needed. Now we just need to get FPR to do a special Lewis Carrol issue and have you and your brothers (I'm assuming Robert is a huge fan as well?) contribute.
This interview really complements one you did a while back with David Armstrong (here: https://perennialdigression.substack.com/p/silent-pilgrimage-with-addison-hodges ). I tend to live inside my head more than I probably should and am quite comfortable with the mystical aspects of what you talk/write about. Your emphasis on the pragmatic and pastoral is much needed and appreciated for me.
Thank you for all of those book recommendations. I especially enjoyed those bits about the pastoral nature of English spirituality. I recall your brother David saying in some zoom talk that he doesn’t have a pastoral bone in his body - lol. Well, I’m glad you do.
For me, the pastoral aspect is always of paramount importance. Without it, the rest is really rather pointless. I don't think David devalues true pastoral theology and practice, but it's not his calling.
A marvelous overview of "pragmatic mysticism." Comprehensive, concise. You don't need to take notes: one-liners are memorable. Thanks also for Michael Sauter on "cultivating practice."
Is there a book, website, or app that you recommend for praying the Anglican daily office? Thanks.

Yes, I feel that way too about those matters.
