And readings for daily prayer were specified in tabular format as were the; and, mostly biblical, that were provided to be said or sung between the readings (, p. 26). The 1549 book was soon succeeded by a more reformed revision in 1552 under the same editorial hand, that of,. It was used only for a few months, as after Edward VI's death in 1553, his half-sister restored Roman Catholic worship. Mary died in 1558 and, in 1559, reintroduced the 1552 book with a few modifications to make it acceptable to more traditionally minded worshippers, notably the inclusion of the words of administration from the 1549 Communion Service alongside those of 1552.

A Book of Common Prayer with local variations is used in churches inside and outside the Anglican Communion in over 50 different countries and in over 150 different languages (, p. 23). In many parts of the world, other books have replaced it in regular weekly worship. Traditional English, and prayer books have borrowed from the Book of Common Prayer and the marriage and burial rites have found their way into those of other denominations and into the English language. Like the of the and the works of, many words and phrases from the Book of Common Prayer have entered common parlance.

History [ ] Background [ ] The forms of parish worship in the late medieval church in England, which followed the Latin, varied according to local practice. By far the most common form, or 'use', found in Southern England was that of (Salisbury). There was no single book; the services that would be provided by the Book of Common Prayer were to be found in the (the Eucharist), the (daily offices), Manual (the occasional services of Baptism, Marriage, Burial etc.), and (services appropriate to a —Confirmation, Ordination) (, p. 29). The chant (, ) for worship was contained in the for the Mass and in the for the offices.

The Book of Common Prayer has never contained prescribed music or chant; however, produced his Booke of Common Praier noted in 1550 which set what would have been the proper of the Mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Creed, etc.) in the new BCP to simple plainchant inspired by Sarum Use. The work of producing a liturgy in the English language books was largely done by,, starting cautiously in the reign of, and then more radically under his son.

In his early days Cranmer was somewhat conservative: an admirer, if a critical one, of. It may have been his visit to Germany in 1532 (where he secretly married) which began the change in his outlook. Then in 1538, as Henry began diplomatic negotiations with Lutheran princes, Cranmer came face to face with a Lutheran embassy (, p. 215). The, the earliest English-language service of the Church of England, was the first overt manifestation of his changing views.

It was no mere translation from the Latin: its character is made clear by the drastic reduction of the place of saints, compressing what had been the major part into three petitions (, p. 31). Published in 1544, it borrowed greatly from 's and 's and was the only service that might be considered to be ' to be finished within the lifetime of.

Prayer Books of Edward VI [ ] 1549 [ ]. Prayer book of 1559. Under, a more permanent enforcement of the reformed Church of England was undertaken and the 1552 book was republished, scarcely altered, in 1559 (, p. 94).

The alterations, though minor, were however to cast a long shadow in the development of the Church of England. One, the ', related to what clergy were to wear while conducting services. Instead of the banning of all vestments except the rochet for bishops and the for parish clergy, it permitted 'such ornaments.as were in use.in the second year of K. This allowed substantial leeway for more traditionalist clergy to retain some of the vestments which they felt were appropriate to liturgical celebration (at least until the Queen gave further instructions under the of 1559). It was to be the basis of claims in the 19th century that vestments such as chasubles, albs and stoles were legal. At Holy Communion, the words from the 1549 book, 'the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ' etc. Were combined with the words of Edward's second book, 'Take eat in remembrance' 'suggesting on the one hand a real presence to those who wished to find it and on the other, the communion as memorial only',(, p. 27) i.e.

An objective presence and subjective reception. The instruction to the congregation to kneel when receiving communion was retained; but the )#29 in the Forty-Two Articles of Faith which were reduced to 39) which denied any 'real and essential presence' of Christ's flesh and blood, was removed to 'conciliate traditionalists' and aligned with Queen's sensibilities, (, p. 528). The removal of the Black Rubric complements the dual words of administration of communion and permits an action, kneeling to receive, which people were used to doing. The Prayer Book '.was a masterpiece of theological engineering,' (arv.(, p. 27). The doctrines in the Prayer and the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion would set the tone of Anglicanism which would prefer to steer a Middle Way between Roman Catholicism and radical forms of Protestantism, and avoid being identified as a Confessional Church like Calvinists and Lutherans. The conservative nature of these changes underlines the fact that reformed principles were by no means universally popular – a fact that the Queen recognised: her revived, giving her the ambiguous title of, passed without difficulty but the, giving statutory force to the Prayer Book, passed through the House of Lords by only three votes.(, p. 284f) It made constitutional history in being imposed by the laity alone, as all the bishops, except those imprisoned by the Queen and unable to attend, voted against it (, p. 262). Convocation had made its position clear by affirming the traditional doctrine of the Eucharist, the authority of the Pope, and the reservation by divine law to clergy 'of handling and defining concerning the things belonging to faith, sacraments, and discipline ecclesiastical' (, p. 182).

After the several innovations and reversals, the new forms of worship took time to settle in. Among Cranmer's innovations, retained in the new book was the requirement of weekly Holy Communion services. In practice, as before the English Reformation, many received communion rarely, as little as once a year in some cases; estimated it as no more than six times.

Practice, however, varied from place to place: very high attendance at festivals was the order of the day in many parishes and in some regular communion was very popular, in other places families stayed away or sent 'a servant to be the liturgical representative of their household.' (, p. 123) (, p. 43). Few parish clergy were initially licensed to preach by the bishops; in the absence of a licensed preacher, Sunday services were required to be accompanied by reading one of the written by Cranmer (, p. 29). George Herbert was, however, not alone in his enthusiasm for preaching, which he regarded as one of the prime functions of a parish priest (, p. 67). Music was much simplified and a radical distinction developed between, on the one hand, parish worship where only the of Sternhold and Hopkins might be sung and, on the other hand, worship in churches with organs and surviving choral foundations, where the music of and others was developed into a rich choral tradition (, p. 125) (, p. 31). The whole act of parish worship might take well over two hours; and accordingly, churches were equipped with in which households could sit together (whereas in the medieval church, men and women had worshipped separately).

Diarmaid MacCulloch describes the new act of worship as, 'a morning marathon of prayer, scripture reading, and praise, consisting of mattins, litany, and ante-communion, preferably as the matrix for a sermon to proclaim the message of scripture anew week by week.' Many ordinary churchgoers—that is those who could afford a copy as it was expensive—would own a copy of the prayer book. Judith Maltby cites a story of parishioners at Flixton in Suffolk who brought their own prayer books to church in order to shame their vicar into conforming with it: they eventually ousted him (, p. 44).

Between 1549 and 1642, roughly 290 editions of the prayer book were produced (, p. 24). Before the end of the (1642-1651) and the introduction of the 1662 prayer book, something like a half a million prayer books are estimated to have been in circulation (, p. 24). A (re)translation into Latin of the 1559 Book of Common Prayer was made in the form of 's Liber Precum Publicarum of 1560.

Its use was destined for the universities. Changes in 1604 [ ] On Elizabeth's death in 1603, the 1559 book, substantially that of 1552 which had been regarded as offensive by some, such as Bishop, as being a break with the tradition of the Western Church, had come to be regarded in some quarters as unduly Catholic.

On his accession and following the so-called ', called the in 1604—the same meeting of bishops and Puritan divines that initiated the of the Bible. This was in effect a series of two conferences: (i) between James and the bishops; (ii) between James and the Puritans on the following day.

The Puritans raised four areas of concern: purity of doctrine; the means of maintaining it; church government; and the Book of Common Prayer. Here Confirmation, the cross in baptism, private baptism, the use of the surplice, kneeling for communion, reading the Apocrypha; and subscription to the BCP and Articles were all touched on. Laud's abortive 1637 Prayer book. In 1557, the Scots Protestant lords had adopted the English Prayer Book of 1552, for in Scotland.

However, when returned to Scotland in 1559, he continued to use the Form of Prayer he had created for the English exiles in and, in 1564, this supplanted the Book of Common Prayer under the title of the. Following the accession of King to the throne of England his son, King, with the assistance of Archbishop Laud, sought to impose the prayer book on Scotland (). The book concerned was not, however, the 1559 book but very much that of 1549, the first book of Edward VI.

First used in 1637, it was never accepted, having been by the Scots. During one reading of the book at mass in, the was forced to protect himself while reading from the book by pointing loaded pistols at the congregation. Following the (including the ), the was re-established on a basis but by the Act of Comprehension 1690, the rump of were allowed to hold onto their. For liturgy they looked to Laud's book and in 1724 the first of the 'wee bookies' was published, containing, for the sake of economy, the central part of the Communion liturgy beginning with the offertory (, Chapter 4). Between then and 1764, when a more formal revised version was published, a number of things happened which were to separate the Scottish Episcopal liturgy more firmly from either the English books of 1549 or 1559. First, informal changes were made to the order of the various parts of the service and inserting words indicating a sacrificial intent to the Eucharist clearly evident in the words,'we thy humble servants do celebrate and make before thy Divine Majesty with these thy holy gifts which we now OFFER unto thee, the memorial thy Son has commandeth us to make;' secondly, as a result of Bishop Rattray's researches into the liturgies of St James and St Clement, published in 1744, the form of the invocation was changed. These changes were incorporated into the 1764 book which was to be the liturgy of the (until 1911 when it was revised) but it was to influence the liturgy of the.

A completely new revision was finished in 1929 and several alternative orders of the Communion service and other services have been prepared since then. 1662 [ ] The 1662 Prayer Book was printed only two years after the restoration of the monarchy, following the between representative and twelve bishops which was convened by Royal Warrant to 'advise upon and review the Book of Common Prayer' (, p. 169,170).

Attempts by the Presbyterians, led by, to gain approval for an alternative service book failed. Their major objections (exceptions) were: firstly, that it was improper for lay people to take any vocal part in prayer (as in the Litany or Lord's Prayer), other than to say 'amen'; secondly, that no set prayer should exclude the option of an extempore alternative from the minister; thirdly, that the minister should have the option to omit part of the set liturgy at his discretion; fourthly, that short should be replaced by longer prayers and exhortations; and fifthly, that all surviving 'Catholic' ceremonial should be removed.(, p. 53). A Collect for 5th November in the Book of Common Prayer published in London in 1689, referring to the and the arrival of.

Between 1662 and the 19th century, further attempts to revise the Book in England stalled. On the death of Charles II, his brother James, a Roman Catholic, became. James wished to achieve toleration for those of his own Roman Catholic faith, whose practices were still banned. This, however, drew the Presbyterians closer to the Church of England in their common desire to resist 'popery'; talk of reconciliation and liturgical compromise was thus in the air. But with the flight of James in 1688 and the arrival of the Calvinist the position of the parties changed. The Presbyterians could achieve toleration of their practices without such a right being given to Roman Catholics and without, therefore, their having to submit to the Church of England, even with a liturgy more acceptable to them.

They were now in a much stronger position to demand changes that were ever more radical., Dean of Canterbury pressed the king to set up a commission to produce such a revision (, p. 26). The so-called Liturgy of Comprehension of 1689, which was the result, conceded two thirds of the Presbyterian demands of 1661; but, when it came to the members, now more fearful of William's perceived agenda, did not even discuss it and its contents were, for a long time, not even accessible (, p. 45).

This work, however, did go on to influence the prayer books of many British colonies. 1833–1906 [ ]. The 1979 Book of Common Prayer The separated itself from the Church of England in 1789, the first church in the USA having been founded in 1607.() Its prayer book, published in 1790, had as its sources the 1662 English book and the 1764 Scottish Liturgy (see above) which of Connecticut had brought over following his consecration in Aberdeen in 1784, containing elements of each (). The preface to the 1789 Book of Common Prayer says, 'this Church is far from intending to depart from the Church of England in any essential point of doctrine, discipline, or worship.further than local circumstances require.' There were some notable differences.

For example, in the Communion service the prayer of consecration follows mainly the Scottish orders derived from 1549 (, 82) and found in the 1764 Book of Common Prayer. The compilers used materials derived from ancient liturgies especially Eastern Orthodox ones such as the Liturgy of St. James.(, 82) An was included, as in the Scottish book, though modified to meet reformist objections. Overall, the book was modelled on the English Prayer Book, the Convention having resisted attempts at deletion and revision.() The 1789 American BCP reintroduced explicit sacrificial language in the Prayer of Consecration by adding the words 'which we now offer unto Thee', after 'with these thy holy gifts' from the 1549 BCP. The insertion undid Cranmer's rejection of the Eucharist as a material sacrifice by which the Church offers itself to God in an unbloody liturgical representation in and with the very same sacrifice of Christ who is both priest and victim, both offering and offered. This reworking thereby aligned the church's eucharistic theology more closely to that of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Further revisions occurred in 1892 and 1928, in which minor changes were made, removing, for instance, some of 's Exhortations and introducing such innovations as prayers for the dead. In 1979, a more substantial revision was made. There were now two rites for the most common services, the first that kept most of the language of 1928, and the second using only contemporary language (some of it newly composed, and some adapted from the older language). Many changes were made in the rubrics and the shapes of the services, which were generally made for both the traditional and contemporary language versions. However, there was arguably a greater degree of continuity than was the case in England, which may account for the fact that all the books of the series, from 1790 to 1979 retain the same title. The 1979 book owes a good deal to the and to the 19th-century. Many traditionalists, both and, felt alienated by the theological changes made in the 1979 BCP, and in 1991 The Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, PA published a book entitled, the which is 'a traditional language adaptation of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer together with the Psalter or Psalms of David and Additional Devotions.'

Books like this are allowed in the Episcopal Church because of a rubric in the 1979 Prayer Book which allows for the translation of the contemporary language into the traditional language of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Even so, the revision caused some controversy and in 2000, the issued an apology to those 'offended or alienated during the time of liturgical transition to the 1979 Book of Common Prayer.' Use of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer is currently discouraged. Article X of the Canons of the Episcopal Church provides that '[t]he Book of Common Prayer, as now established or hereafter amended by the authority of this Church, shall be in use in all the Dioceses of this Church,' which, of course, is a reference to the 1979 Book of Common Prayer.

It is located between John F. Kennedy Drive and Park Presidio Drive, near Cross Over Drive. This 57 ft (17 m) sandstone cross commemorates the first use of the Book of Common Prayer in California by Sir 's chaplain on June 24, 1579. Roman Catholic adaptations [ ] In 2003, a Roman Catholic liturgical book, the, was published in the United States.

The book's development began in the early 1980s for former Anglicans within the parishes. It was published in a single volume, primarily for their own use, in 2003. The book is composed of material drawn from the proposed 1928 BCP, the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the and the. Since 2011, the Book of Divine Worship has undergone additional revision to bring it more coherently in line with the language of the BCP, while also incorporating elements of the English Missal and the Anglican Missal. The updated edition was mandated for use in all for former Anglicans from Advent 2013, although further revision is expected to incorporate most of the BCP propers as well. Religious influence [ ] The Book of Common Prayer has had a great influence on a number of other denominations. While theologically different, the language and flow of the service of many other churches owe a great debt to the prayer book.

Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Some examples of well-known phrases from the Book of Common Prayer are: • 'Speak now or forever hold your peace' from the liturgy. • 'Till death us do part', from the marriage liturgy. • 'Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust' from the service. • 'From all the deceits of the world, the flesh, and the devil' from the. • 'Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest' from the for the second Sunday of.

• 'Evil liver' from the rubrics for Holy Communion. • 'All sorts and conditions of men' from the Order for Morning Prayer.

• 'Peace ' from Morning Prayer, Versicles. References and allusions to Prayer Book services in the works of Shakespeare were tracked down and identified by Richmond Noble (, p. 82). Derision of the Prayer Book or its contents 'in any interludes, plays, songs, rhymes, or by other open words' was a criminal offence under the 1559, and consequently Shakespeare avoids too direct reference; but Noble particularly identifies the reading of the Psalter according to the version specified in the Prayer Book, as the biblical book generating the largest number of in Shakespeare's plays. Noble found a total of 157 allusions to the Psalms in the plays of the, relating to 62 separate Psalms—all, save one, of which he linked to the version in the Psalter, rather than those in the.

In addition, there are a small number of direct allusions to liturgical texts in the Prayer Book; e.g. Henry VIII 3:2 where Wolsey states 'Vain Pomp and Glory of this World, I hate ye!' , a clear reference to the rite of Public Baptism; where the Godparents are asked 'Doest thou forsake the vaine pompe and glory of the worlde.?' As novelist observed, 'We can recognize the Prayer Book’s cadences in the works of and, in the majestic phrases of, and. We can see its echo in the works of such very different writers as,, the,, and even.'

(, p. 48) James herself used phrases from the Book of Common Prayer and made them into bestselling titles – and – while 's 2006 film placed the phrase onto cinema marquees worldwide. Copyright status [ ] In England there are only three bodies entitled to print the Book of Common Prayer: the two ( and ), and The. Cambridge University Press holds as The Queen's Printer and so two of these three bodies are the same. The Latin term cum privilegio ( with privilege) is printed on the title pages of Cambridge editions of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (and the King James Version of the Bible) to denote the charter authority or privilege under which they are published. The primary function for Cambridge University Press in its role as Queen’s Printer is preserving the integrity of the text, continuing a long-standing tradition and reputation for textual scholarship and accuracy of printing. Cambridge University Press has stated that as a university press, a charitable enterprise devoted to the advancement of learning, it has no desire to restrict artificially that advancement, and that commercial restrictiveness through a partial monopoly is not part of its purpose.

It therefore grants permission to use the text, and license printing or the importation for sale within the UK, as long as it is assured of acceptable quality and accuracy. The Church of England, supported by the, publishes an online edition of the Book of Common Prayer with permission of Cambridge University Press. In accordance with Canon II.3.6(b)(2) of the, the church relinquishes any copyright for the version of the Book of Common Prayer currently adopted by the Convention of the church (although the text of proposed revisions remains copyrighted).

Spurr gives the following breakdown for the period 1660–63: Total ministers forced out of English parishes about 1760. This includes 695 parish ministers ejected under the 1660 act for settling clergy; 936 more forced out under the 1662 Act of Uniformity. In addition 200 non-parochial ministers from lectureships, universities and schools, and 120 in Wales were excluded. He adds that 171 of the 1760 are 'known to have conformed later'.
