O God of truth and beauty, who didst richly endow thy Bishop Dunstan with skill in music and the working of metals, and with gifts of administration and reforming zeal: Teach us, we beseech thee, to see in thee the source of all our talents, and move us to offer them for the adornment of worship and the advancement of true religion; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
St Dunstan with his tongs in Peterborough Cathedral, by Carter Shapland c1960 I think. Today's the feast of St Dunstan. His somewhat anguished face may be repeated by many in Peterborough today after the remarkable events of last night. pic.twitter.com/G8Y3bjoFIh
