1662 Book of Common Prayer

The Standard for Anglican Worship

A verbal masterpiece, in ’archaic’ but elegant style. A living testament to the English Reformation, Cranmer’s work is a milestone in church history, capturing the essence of the English language and culture, chronicling its enduring achievements. The mechanism of prayer does not interfere with the spirit or intent of prayer. This warm and wonderful daily companion of liturgical prayer has spiritually nourished Christians over the centuries. An Anglican gift to the world, it continues to guide worship and stimulate spiritual growth. A blessing indeed!
