The third of four volumes, containing the edited texts,
commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine hundred
occasions of special worship including the development of national
days of prayer during the two world wars,and a proliferation of
nation-wide services for royal occasions. Since the sixteenth
century, the governments and established churches of the British
Isles have summoned the nation to special acts of public worship
during periods of anxiety and crisis, at times of celebration, or
for annual commemoration and remembrance. These special prayers,
special days of worship and anniversary commemorations were
national events, reaching into every parish in England and Wales,
in Scotland, and in Ireland. They had considerable religious,
ecclesiastical, political, ideological, moral and social
significance, and they produced important texts: proclamations,
council orders, addresses and - in England and Wales, and in
Ireland - prayers or complete liturgies which for specified periods
supplemented or replaced the services in the Book of Common Prayer.
Many of these acts of special worship and most of the texts have
escaped historical notice. National Prayers: Special Worship since
the Reformation, in four volumes, provides the edited texts,
commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine hundred
occasions of special worship, and for each of the annual
commemorations. The third volume, Worship for National and Royal
Occasions in the United Kingdom 1871-2016, reveals the considerable
changes in special worship during modern times. These include new
subjects for special prayers, many services for royal events,
wartime national days of prayer, and developing co-operation among
leaders of the main British churches, together with transformations
in the styles of worship in both the Church of England and the
Church of Scotland
