The celebration of the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common
Prayer has helped to stimulate a renewed interest in its teaching
and fundamental contribution to Anglican identity. Archbishop
Cranmer and others involved in the English Reformation knew well
that the content and shape of the services set out in the Prayer
Book were vital ways of teaching congregations biblical truth and
the principles of the Christian gospel. Thus the aim of this series
of booklets which focus on the Formularies of the Church of England
and the elements of the different services within the Prayer Book
is to highlight what those services teach about the Christian faith
and to demonstrate how they are also designed to shape the practice
of that faith. As well as providing an account of the origins of
the Prayer Book services, these booklets are designed to offer
practical guidance on how such services may be used in Christian
ministry nowadays. In this exposition of the services of Morning
and Evening Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer, Mark Burkill
reveals how the focus of the daily offices is to build up God's
people by immersing them in the Scriptures.
