The Book of Common Prayer and Worship Today
Margaret Bolton
Why do we worship in the way that we do? Why do we say thee and not you and does it matter? Why is the Gospel traditionally read from the middle of the church and not the lectern? What does it mean when the groom promises with my body I thee worship or when we undertake to become a living sacrifice ? These questions and many more are discussed in my new book which takes you through each of the services in the Book of Common Prayer before going on to look at the same in Common Worship. What has changed and why? What do the alterations tell us about the Church today and its attitude to the Scriptures and tradition? How do the new services reflect the Thirty Nine Articles? Has Common Worship rendered the Book of Common Prayer obsolete? Written in easy to understand language, this book will help all Anglicans to gain a deeper understanding of their faith and to experience worship in a new way. It also offers suggestions on developing private devotions and a brief account of how the Book of Common Prayer came into being.
