    It's all Coming Back To You Now
    Jan 13 2026
    There were nights when the wind was so cold... Ope, sorry, that's a different tune. Welcome back to The BCP and Me as The Rev. Joshua Nelson and the now Very Rev Br Tyler Richards bring us back to The Book of Common Prayer, and everything that lies beneath the surface of this amazing text. To detail everything that has happened over the last couple of years would take an entire season. We are calling these things, collectively, life changes, so we can just jump right back in where we left off. No doubt, we'll talk about some of these things as we go along and get into some of the nitty gritty of what all has happened (Fr. Tyler is a Cathedral Dean and a Dominican Friar now; Fr. Joshua is a Dad as well as s Step Dad now) and how all that has affected how we see the text. What will never change is our commitment to better understanding this text that has shaped us, and our commitment to continue the conversation about this book. New Episodes will be rolling out in the coming weeks, and we look forward to continuing our journey with you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your continuing devotion and patience! It may have been lost long ago, but it's all coming back to you now! Welcome back to The BCP and Me!
