I would like to start using the Book of Common Prayer in my daily worship but am unsure which one to use as there appear to be so many listed on Amazon and elsewhere. Any suggestions would be valued, thank you! Incidentally, I am in the United Kingdom, (England) and in the Diocese of Lichfield.
Some parishes have - others have not. Here in Europe - theIt seems like the CofE has pretty much moved on from the 1662 Prayer Book, is that correct?
I couldn't agree more!If so, I think that's too bad. I always thought the point of common prayer and common worship was to have common prayer and common worship. All of these different options seem like liturgical chaos.
The Church of England has (to my knowledge) neverEven in TEC, these alternative services don't seem to be commonly used. Of course, the '79 BCP does have different options and one might even say that it is a book of alternative services. That said, most stick to the '79 BCP, while a small minority still use the '28 BCP.

The only real use I could see for alternative services would be for the celebration of services that the BCP has no celebration for, yet are common in some Anglican parishes.
That's it, I'll get off my soap box

True. But having a copy is still a very good thing -A number of CofE churches still use BCP, but they are in the minority. Most now use Common Worship.

No ignorance, I can assure you, brother!Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but is Common Worship organized like the BCP or is it more a collection of alternative liturgies/services?

Here in NZ we seem to mostly use the whole of the NZ Prayer book but there are a sizeable number of parishes who use projectors and portions of the liturgy.
