texts Can be used by clergy and lay people, across denominations,

Special appeal to women and men who are sensitive to issues of
inclusive language Offers the full beauty of structured monastic
prayer in the Anglican tradition Designed for use with the Bible,
in a translation of personal choice Can also be used as a manual of
devotion without Bible readings The rich tradition of monastic
prayer, dating back to the earliest days of the desert hermits in
the third century, has been the foundational daily prayer of the
Church for most of its existence. Many individuals who are not
members of religious communities cherish this tradition and use
elements of it for their own daily prayer, and adapted breviaries
have been popular sellers to targeted markets for more than a
century. Over the past several years, the Order of Saint Helena, a
community of women in the Episcopal Church, spent a great deal of
time and energy in revising their office book. High on the list of
priorities for the revision was the broadening of language to avoid
masculine imagery when referring to God. This personal edition of
The Saint Helena Breviary has been adapted for use by individual
readers who set aside one or more times for prayer in the midst of
their busy lives. CONTENTS Daily morning prayer, noonday prayer,
evening prayer, and compline based on the Book of Common Prayer,

days of the week and the church year, from the Book of Common
Prayer, adapted for expansive language All daily and seasonal

Common Prayer lectionary, designed for use with a Bible of reader's
choice
