The Book of Common Prayer - ACNA - 2019

The Book of Common Prayer (2019) is the official liturgical text of the Anglican Church in North America, authorized by the College of Bishops. It represents a comprehensive reform and restoration effort that synthesizes centuries of Anglican tradition with contemporary worship needs. The volume includes the complete Daily Office (Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Compline), the Holy Eucharist in both Anglican Standard and Renewed Ancient texts, pastoral rites for baptism, confirmation, matrimony, healing, and burial, the complete Psalter (including the renewed Coverdale Psalter), and special liturgies for Lent and Holy Week. The prayer book maintains fidelity to Thomas Cranmer's sixteenth-century vision while incorporating patristic scholarship and contemporary accessibility, presenting worship that is thoroughly Biblical, catholic in early Christian manner, highly participatory, and culturally adaptive. Published in June 2019 with subsequent corrected printings, it serves as the standard for doctrine, discipline, and worship in the Anglican Church in North America.
