The Little Litany of St. Columba.
This litany was written by David Pratt, one of our founding members. David is an artist, builder and Coptic Orthodox Christian. We are all members of a great cloud of witnesses and ask for the accompaniment of our patron in our daily life.
It was written for our community and the wider body of Christ to celebrate our first morning of prayer on the St Columba’s Farmstead 22 January 2019.
