The First English Prayer Book (Seeds of English Religion S.)

The First English Prayer Book (Seeds of English Religion S.)

by RobertVanDeWeyer (Author)

Synopsis

In 1549 Thomas Cranmer published the first prayer book in English using language derived from medieval forms of worship. Later prayer books produced by the Anglican Communion are derived from it and in the eyes of many are inferior. This edition presents Cranmer's services in a form which is practical, accessible and easy to follow, designed to be used in worship. As in the original, the instructions, the "rubrics", are printed in red. The hope is that churches and informal Christian groups may use it for occasional or even regular acts of worship.
