The recent 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 overview of the Book
of Common Prayer, Peter Adam brings us back again and again to its
emphasis on the 'very pure word of God', setting the gold standard
and hallmark of all our liturgy. Peter Adam served as Vicar of St
Jude's Carlton, and as Principal of Ridley College in Melbourne
Australia. He is currently Vicar Emeritus of St Jude's, and Canon
of St Paul's Cathedral Melbourne.
