Worship & The 1928 Book of Common Prayer
If you've ever visited an Episcopal or Anglican church, or if you're an Anglican
yourself, you know the weight we place on worship. Not only do we adhere to
historic, reformed doctrine and to traditional discipline, we also take worship
seriously. In the act of corporate worship, we seek to glorify God and bring
honor to His name through the reading of His Word, prayer, and the singing of
traditional hymns.
Our worship is marked by the Book of Common Prayer (1928 revision), which
calls for beauty and simplicity in worship. Scripture stands at the center of
traditional Episcopal worship; the Prayer Book is filled with Biblical passages
and prayers crafted on a knowledge of Scripture. In an age when "any prayer
book will do," and when worship is defined more by human pleasure than by the
pursuit of God's glory, we humbly seek to worship God in Spirit and in truth by
keeping to the 1928 BCP and following its rubrics.
Primarily, though, we seek to honor our majestic Lord, and to do so decently and
in order, as St. Paul admonishes Christians.
