Temple Church, where the Knights Templar prayed almost 1000 years ago, is actually still a working church.

You have to be a lawyer and a member of the Inner Temple or Outer Temple to pray there most days (and Church of England to boot) but for the public, all of the prayer books are there.

It’s a relatively modern service so I’ve been told. The books in use date from about 1950. The funny thing is, despite the age of the church, kids write silly things in the bibles just like everywhere else.

The tour guide of the walking tour which went through Temple Church actually grabbed a bible and read some passages out of it which are not part of the latest approved list by the Church of England.
