Book of Common Prayer: The Texts of 1549, 1559, and 1662


Brian Cummings, Editor


"The Book of Common Prayer is one of the most extraordinary books in history.  As well as a means to worship a creator, it is a way of coming to terms with pain, pleasure, and sorrow, forming one of the richest sources of social memory in the English language. "  


"This edition presents the Book of Common Prayer in three different states:  Cranmer's first edition of 1549, which brought the Reformation into people's homes; The Elizabethan prayer book of 1559, familiar to Shakespeare and Milton; and the edition of 1662, which embodies the religious temper of the nation down to modern times.  Far from being a book for the religious only, the Book of Common Prayer is one of the seminal texts of human experience and a manual of everyday ritual;  a book to live, love and die to."

Celebrating the Eucharist: A Practical Ceremonial Guide for Clergy and Other Liturgical Ministers Label

Celebrating the Eucharist: A Practical Ceremonial Guide for Clergy and Other Liturgical Ministers



n this first new Eucharistic customary in nearly 20 years, Patrick Malloy, an Episcopal priest and liturgical scholar, presents a clear, illustrated guide for the presider and other leaders of the liturgy, contemporary in approach but based on ancient and classic principles of celebration. The 1979 Book of Common Prayer, like its predecessors, is long on telling the Church what to say, and short on telling it what to do. This leaves those who "choreograph" Prayer Book liturgies with a complex task and a powerful influence over the faith of the Church. The author begins with a concise theology of the liturgy that underpins all of his specific directives in the book. Contents include: Theological and liturgical principles; Liturgical ministry and liturgical ministers; Liturgical space; Vesture, vessels, and other liturgical objects; The liturgical year; The shape of the liturgy; The sung liturgy and singing during the liturgy; The order of the Eucharist (the "heart" of the book); and The celebration of Baptism during the Eucharist.
