Angela Tilby

Angela Tilby compiled this daily prayer book when she was working as a television producer for the British Broadcasting Corporation. As a lay theologian she recognized the importance of regularity in prayer and wanted her prayers to mirror those of other Christians around the world, and to tap into the inherited wisdom of the great monastic orders. Since then she has left the world of mass media and now teaches Early Church History and Spirituality in the Cambridge Theological Federation and is the Vice-Principal of Westcott House, an Anglican theological college.
