Which Service Do You Attend?

[ChasingADream]

Just curious...

*edit* Oops, I forgot to answer my own question! Lol. I am a server so I attend all of the services but before I became a server I used to go to the BAS.

 

[AngCath]

Bcp '79 (usa)

 

[longhair75]

I was unaware that there was a book of alternative services. We usually attend the contemporary service, but the main difference is the music. The service itself is Rite II from the BCP 79

I was surprised to hear that since BAS is the main service at most parishes up here in Canada (though we still have BCP services at most parishes as well), so I did a little research...

What I gather from the link below, is the American (Episcopalian) 1979 BCP is the same as the Canadian, English, Australian etc. BAS. For some reason it was called the 1979 BCP in America only. I guess you learn something new every day.

Usually The 1979 Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, Eucharist Rite 2 for me.

I've never encountered it (under any name) in either England or Australia.

Down here most liturgical services are from APBA (A Prayer Book for Australia) or, if you are in Sydney or a Syndey-like diocese the older AAPB (An Australian Prayerbook). Just to be different though, my church uses Common Worship (under special dispensation from the bishop).

So I guess the answer to the poll is None of the Above.

None of the Above. Common Worship, Order One. Hopefully we'll be Prayer H this sunday! That's my favourite so far...

Same here! CW, Order One, and either Prayer A or Prayer H.

 

[Naomi4Christ]

CW.

I quite like Prayer D - This is our story

 

[Timothy]

Prayer D is nice, but the interactiveness of Prayer H is quite a change, and thus I find it quite challenging for our congregation which has for many years been a people-in-the-pew-watching-the-priest congregation.

 

[Iosias]

I try and attend the 8am BCP 1662 Holy Communion and then Evening Prayer from CW.

 

[TomUK]

Common Worship here too, interspersed with the Missal.

The only time I've encountered D I found it rather sickly.

In England we used H for the Family Service, but you can't use it with the proper prefaces, so it doesn't sit well when you want to emphasis the seasons.

 

[Tawny]

CW here too.

I occaisionally go to the 8am BCP service, but the last time I went. the Vicar was absent. Very very occaisionally I go to Evensong.

 

[pmcleanj]

The main service of the day, whatever it happens to be.

I don't have to like it. I don't. I want my nice old 1662 prayer book. I want my Merbecke chant. I want Morning Prayer. I want the rubrics followed; a fine linen cloth on the table; and the Bible, flowers, and candlesticks OFF the table. I want the lectionary followed and I want University-lecture-quality sermons.

But I want to be there when the Church gathers, imperfect and liturgically-misguided though the Church happens to be. And our liturgically-misguided church uses a hacked-together liturgy from the H.O.P.* with a praise band. Oddly enough, God (who has all the choice imaginable) also attends that service. Either He has terrible taste, or He's willing to put up with a lot to be present with the Church, too.

1979 Rite 1 with Missal prayers added.

 

[AngCath]

which missal prayers are added?

 

[DarthDigger]

As I am in the choir - i go to pretty much every service there is in our church!

I personally find evensong/carol services the best because there is always a lot of good singing!

 

[Fairbairn]

What are Missal Prayers?

I attend CW, but we do not use a physical book. The relevent parts of the service are reproduced on the screen and in handouts for those behind pillars.

Darned pillars!

The Missal is the liturgy used in the Roman Catholic Church.
