Clearly Anglican in its emphasis, that doesn't mean it has nothing to say to those of us who follow a different tradition. In fact I found his piece about the Collect really interesting. In a Baptist tradition we often include an opportunity to pray extempore or silent prayers that are drawn to a close by some one at the front "closing" the time of prayer. It would serve us well to think a little more about both the opening and closing of such times of prayers. The form of the Collect may just help us do that.
