I'm very surprised that you find Benediction at LSM to be rushed, as I've always considered it to be very meditative. Benediction is a service I often go to, and my memory of LSM is that it is rather less rushed than elsewhere (although these days I would be surprised at singing the Tantum Ergo in English).

I've heard ++Rowan preach twice (once at LSM and once at the Walsingham National Pilgrimage), and I would say that he is excellent at pitching his sermons to his congregation.

My memory (now rather hazy) was that there was hardly a pause in the liturgy at all for silent prayer. Maybe things have changed, or my memory is at fault.

No. There is no time for silent prayer at LSM which is the thing which has always bugged me. Not that it's better at my nearest place which does Benediction, but when I was up in Alnmouth I really appreciated the quiet.
