    Prayer book versions in ACNA

    Out of curiosity, is the 2019 BCP mandated in ACNA, or are there still dioceses or parishes where the 1979 BCP, or the 1928 BCP, or the officially sanctioned traditional language version of the 1979 BCP, the Anglican Service Book, etc, are still allowed? I would assume the Reformed Episcopal...

    Catechizing at Evensong

    So recently it came to my attention that according to the 1662 and other editions of the BCP, a catechtical session is in theory supposed to follow the Nunc Dimitis, but in practice this is rarely if ever done, and I have never heard it. That said, a part of me is intrigued by the idea of...

    What Eucharistic Prayer Is This?

    At this lovely Reformation Sunday service held at Old North Church, a Eucharistic prayer was used which didn’t seem to correspond to any in the 1979 BCP. I even looked at Common Worship. Perhaps I missed something. The priest did say he and many congregants were originally of Lutheran...

    Creeds and Creedal Variants, and Episcopal Eucharistic Prayers

    Merry Christmas to all members on the Gregorian Calendar. The Ethiopian and Coptic Orthodox Churches are among those who will be celebrating Christmas on the 6th and 7th. While reading my English translation of the Ethiopian Qedase (“Holies”, the Divine Liturgy) specifically to compare their...

  6. ChristIsSovereign

    Been reading the Episcopal book of common prayer (has *plenty* of scripture) and praying. Advice?

    Being a brand, brand, brand new Christian, (my previous interactions here I deem to be false and not in the spirit of me as a Christian now) I've been practicing severe caution as to not read books I find to have theological leanings in one direction or another, and the small Episcopal book of...

    A New Zealand Prayer Book

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone else use "A New Zealand Prayer Book" from the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Polynesia? Or have you used it in your congregations for service? At my previous parish, we used to use the New Zealand Prayer Book for one of our services.

    Anointing During Daily Office

    I want to start praying the daily office as found in the 1979 USA BCP, and I want to use my anointing oil to anoint myself every day. Is there an appropriate place during the Rite II morning and evening prayers to do so? Maybe there is a good prayer to use during the free intercession ( maybe A...

    Awakening to Who We Are

    This doesn't come from a specifically Roman Catholic source, but I think it's within the bounds of Catholic spirituality, and our theology of baptism: http://www.episcopalcafe.com/speaking-to-the-soul-awakening-to-who-we-are/ I wanted to make sure I got something a little more edifying in with...

    Basic Episcopal Beliefs

    I was raised in the United Methodist church before coming to college about three years ago. As I matured and my beliefs were examined a bit more, started to slowly drift away from the UMC in search of a new denomination that is more socially current (allows female leadership, affirms LGBT...
