The Book of Common Prayer

Over 80% of The Book of Common Prayer is comprised of Holy scripture. It is  a treasure chest full of devotional and teaching resources for individuals and congregations.  It  contains The Daily offices, The Holy Eucharist, Pastoral offices such as the celebration of Marriage,  ministration to the sick  and a  wonderful section of prayers and thanksgivings beginning on page 810. It is considered the primary symbol of our unity, as Armentrout and Slocum note in their An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church, that “Anglican liturgical piety has been rooted in the Prayer Book tradition since the publication of the first English Prayer Book in 1549.”
We, who are many and diverse, come together in Christ through our worship, our common prayer. The prayer book, most recently revised in 1979, contains our liturgies, our prayers, our theological documents, and much, much more.
