I looked at the .pdf communion service. This looks like a very good effort indeed. How wonderful it would be for all believing Anglicans to have, once again, truly Common Prayer.

Not to spoil the party, but I am just so tired of contemporary language prayer books. I wasn’t in the fray of 1979, but this won’t win the hearts and minds of those who fought that prayer book wars in ‘70s.

A bad decision no matter how many orders are being placed. If you want a 1662, buy one from Cambridge University Press.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

If this was what had been offered in 1979, there would probably not have been too much fuss. Still, if a thing ain't broke, no reason to keep messin' with it till it is.

I'm not understanding why the BCP again needs "adjusting". There is too much temptation to "correct" this or that. The 1662 stood alone in England for almost 350 years, but this generation must, as they have done with every other institution, tear down and rebuild in their own image.

I suspect that the objective to modernize the language is just an excuse.

I will always be skeptical of any religious thought post 1960. Until another generation that is less agenda driven arrives let's keep historic edition. It really is not difficult to understand -- listen to any of the services at St. Thomas.
