"We may be confident that liturgical worship is the best of all.

There is some loss in the use of printed words; but there is a greater gain. We have in them the accumulated wisdom and beauty of the Christian Church, the garnered excellence of the saints. We are by them released from the accidents of time and place. Above all we are preserved against the worst dangers of selfishness: in the common prayer we join together in a great fellowship that is as wide as the world; and we are guided, not by the limited notions of our own priest, nor by the narrow impulses of our own desires, but by the mighty voice that rises from the general heart of Christendom."  — Percy Dearmer, Everyman’s History of the PrayerBook, 1912
"The 1662 Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, and along with it the other Prayer Books of the Anglican Communion, have been hugely influential in shaping the identity of the Communion as a seriously liturgical fellowship of Churches. In some Provinces, especially where it is used in a local vernacular tongue,

it still feeds people with a secure spirituality;

and in these and other Provinces it often remains as a standard of doctrine." — from The Lambeth Conference, 1988; Mission and Ministry, 184
"The Book of Common Prayer: a book

so scriptural that it is full of scripture from one end to the other,

and built altogether upon it; so catholic that nothing therein is found contrary to the decrees and practice of the apostolic, nay the universal Church, men’s private fancies only being excluded; so comprehensive that every man finds his wants represented and his petitions anticipated;...let a man be as devout as he will, he will find his devotion cannot soar to a higher pitch, if it be sober, rational and Christian; and withal so elevated that it leads us above the narrow views and petty prejudices of party into the clam and holy atmosphere of heaven." —  Bishop John Medley
“I believe there is no liturgy in the world, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of a solid, scriptural, rational piety, than the Common Prayer of the Church of England: and though the main of it was compiled considerably more than two hundred years ago, yet is the language of it

not only pure, but strong and elegant in the highest degree.”

 — John Wesley, 1784

“Through radical changes in polity, through revolutionary movements in Church and in society in general, through frequent “theological shifts” of one sort or another, the relative stability of the Prayer Book

tradition has provided a focus of unity, in which Anglicans

could recognize their self-identity. Everything distinctively Anglican is embraced by, fostered by, and preserved by that tradition, so that the Prayer Book constitutes, in fact, the fullest expression of the consensus fidelium for Anglicans.” — Robert Crouse

Book Review of "The BCP: the texts of 1549, 1559 and 1662"

A Book Review of: The Book of Common Prayer:The Texts of 1549, 1559, and 1662 (ed. Brian Cummings, Oxford University Press). Reviewed by Ian Robinson, Brynmill Press

This book is, as one expects of Oxford, well designed and handsomely produced. What is less to be taken for granted is that it is also modestly priced. It will be welcomed by anybody who wants these three texts of the English Prayer Book between one set of covers.

Mere Anglicanism

Members of the Prayer Book Society gathered in Charleston to attend Mere Anglicanism, which began with a choral evensong based on the 1662 Book of Common Prayer.  Barton Gingerich, a writer for the Institute on Religion and Democracy, wrote a summary of the conference entitled "Bishop of London Warns against “Rootless Evangelicalism” to U.S. Traditional Anglicans", which may be read here.



 
Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs

On the Sunday called SEPTUAGESIMA (Latin for “seventieth”, because it is approximately the seventieth day before Easter), we begin our preparation for the observance of our Lord’s Passion and Resurrection. In token of this preparation, the altar hangings are violet, Alleluia is not sung, and we begin a three-week focus on Creation, Sin, and the way of Redemption in the Old Testament and New.

The Protestant reformation of the 16th century brought many great gifts to the Catholic tradition. In doctrine, it taught with new emphasis the all-sufficiency of Christ’s atoning work upon the cross, the priority of divine grace to all human willing, and the necessity of a lively faith as the means by which we receive the benefits of salvation. In external forms of worship, it brought the Church a new emphasis on the Bible, read and studied by all Christians in the vernacular; a new emphasis on the doctrine of the Bible preached in sermons and taught in catechisms; a new use of the vernacular for public worship, and, not least of all, the congregational hymn.
