The first of four volumes, containing 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 in Engand and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. 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, Wales
and 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 first volume, SpecialPrayers, Fasts and
Thanksgivings in the British Isles 1533-1688, has an extended
Introduction to the four volumes and a consolidated list of all the
occasions of special worship. It contains texts and commentaries
which revealthe origins of special occasions of national worship
during the Reformation in both England and Scotland, the
development of fast days and wartime prayers later in the sixteenth
century, and what we know about the origins of special national
worship in Ireland. It also shows how special worship became a
recurrent focus and expression of religion and political contention
during the seventeenth century. Edited by Natalie Mears, Alasdair
Raffe, Stephen Taylor and Philip Williamson (with Lucy Bates).
