In the preface to the 2019 Book of Common Prayer we read that, “The Book of Common Prayer, from the first edition of 1549, became the hallmark of a Christian way of worship and believing that was both catholic and reformed, continuous yet always renewing. According to this pattern, communities of prayer—congregations and families rather than the monasteries of the earliest centuries—would be the centers of formation and of Christ-like service to the world.” Throughout this series Fr. Thebeau will guide us in understanding how Anglican worship and The Book of Common Prayer help to form our lives around the life of Christ.
