Third talk on the History and Theology of the Book of Common Prayer
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 its services are widely used.

The Saint Thomas Theological Education Program is at the service of those who seek a deeper understanding of faith and want to nourish their worship and their prayer. The teaching is rooted in Scripture, Christian tradition and spirituality. The lecturers are The Rev.
