The Book of Common Prayer

The Book of Common Prayer: A Pillar of Anglican Worship

"The Book of Common Prayer" is a cornerstone of Anglican liturgy and devotion, first compiled in 1549 by Thomas Cranmer. This timeless collection of prayers, liturgies, and sacraments has shaped the worship practices of the Anglican Communion for centuries. It includes services for daily prayer, the Eucharist, baptisms, weddings, and funerals, as well as a comprehensive lectionary for reading Scripture throughout the year. Revered for its poetic language and theological depth, "The Book of Common Prayer" continues to inspire and guide the spiritual lives of millions around the world.
