Dear Friends,
Starting from Sunday January 12th we shall have a series of four Theology Talks on the History and Theology of the Book of Common Prayer.
As you know, the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is the name given to the book of prayers used in the Anglican Communion and by other Christian churches historically related to Anglicanism. A permanent feature of the Anglican and Episcopal Churches’ worship and a key source for their doctrine, the Book of Common Prayer is loved for the beauty of its language and as a treasure of spirituality.
Here are the titles and the dates of the series:
- The First Books of Common Prayer: Reformation and Tradition (January 12)
- Comprehension and Restoration: Radicals and Royalists (April 6)
- The Beginnings of an American Prayer Book (June 15)
- The New Prayer Book: From 1928 to 1979 (June 22)
All blessings,
Fr. Luigi Gioia
Theologian in Residence
