Compline, a service of psalms and prayers
has been sung 'at the close of day' in monasteries, convents and churches
for manuy centuries and is one of the best-loved services of the Church.
It has been re-instituted in response to the renewed interest in plainsong (Gregorian Chant)
and contemplative prayer.
There is no sermon.
A major element of the service, as it is practiced at St. Paul's , is an extended period of silence.
