THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER (2019)

The Book of Common Prayer, from the first edition of 1549, became the hallmark of a Christian way of worship and believing that was both catholic and reformed, continuous yet always renewing. According to this pattern, communities of prayer—congregations and families rather than the monasteries of the earliest centuries—would be the centers of formation and of Christ-like service to the world. This prayer book includes daily, weekly, and seasonal prayer practices along with collects and canticles. Included within is a full Psalter, or the entire Psalms from scripture.
