Welcome to the Book of Common Prayer
Author: Vicki K. Black
Publisher: Church Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 0819226017
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
A guide to a deeper understanding and richer relationship to the Book of Common Prayer, and a more profound faith. In this guide for newcomers as well as lifelong Episcopalians, author Vicki Black helps readers navigate the currents of Anglican liturgy and discover its richness and beauty. As we use the Book of Common Prayer, Black says, “we discover we are not alone, and this liturgical current of worship, prayer, and praise will indeed take us where we want to go–union with the God we seek to love.” Welcome to the Book of Common Prayer shows readers everything from where to find the Sunday collect to how to pray the Daily Office. But it’s more than a how-to. It offers history and background that help make the prayer book a more meaningful part of the worship life of individuals and congregations. With thoughtful reflection questions, this is a perfect volume for parish study groups.

The Prayer Book Through the Ages
Author: William Sydnor
Publisher: Church Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 081922474X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
An exploration of the history of the Book of Common Prayer and its revisions, beginning with the 1549 English Prayer Book and continuing up to the present. This revised and expanded version finishes the story of the final adoption of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Sydnor explores why each revision was necessary, what was changed, added, omitted, as well as what was retained in the “new” book. By understanding the delicate balance between the need for change and the preservation of what is timeless, William Sydnor believes that Episcopalians will “find anew that common ground of common prayer which is our legacy, our inspiration, and our joy.”

Being Salt
Author: George R. Sumner
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1556350910
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
A number of books have addressed ordination and the priestly life from a devotional or vocational vantage point, but few books have considered ordination from a truly theological perspective. Meanwhile, our time is obsessed with the more general question of leadership. 'Being Salt' addresses both ordination and leadership by taking as its point of departure the most distinctive yet often overlooked feature of ordination: indelibility -- being ordained for life. Being Salt offers several answers to the question, What is the church? Sumner wholeheartedly agrees with the Reformation emphasis on the ministry of the whole people of God. Still, he argues that we can only understand priesthood if we understand what one is ordained for. Indelibility -- lifetime ordination -- provides an entrŽe to the question of what sets the ordained apart. In sum, Being Salt offers an evangelical argument for a catholic practice and so goes to the heart of what Anglicanism understands itself to be.
