This Anglican Missal & Service book as People's version is the adapted form of the Altar book for traditional Anglican Worship services and based on the Book of Common Prayer 1928, other traditional rites and on the King James Version (KJV) of Holy Scripture. The BCP 1928 is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest books ever written in the English language. It sets the standard for worship throughout the so called continuing or traditional Anglican Churches around the world. Unlike the 1979 book that was adopted by the Episcopal Church, the 1928 Book of Common Prayer stands in direct line of descent from Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer, and as such, its collects preserve the beauty of Archbishop Cranmer's original prose.
With great pleasure we issue a completely new revised edition of this important book. This new edition is intended to those who want to understand the Catholic Anglicanism better and stick to its original traditions. It is still one of the most important works that describe and explain the whole Catholic faith, as the Fathers of the Church have handed down. Until now, there were only copies of the original. Since these were relatively difficult to read, we decided to publish a completely new edition. The typesetting of this new edition is completely digitalized and got a fresh new and modernized look. Every paragraph is carefully formatted which makes this book as easy to read as never befor...
From the beginning of the Church prayer has been a central part of Christian living and Church life. Praying with beads is a very simple way of finding a rhythm and creating space for personal prayer, wherever you are. The Anglican rosary is inspired by the traditional rosary but is more flexible and adaptable to the seasons of the Church calendar. This is a helpful way of praying that can lead you into reflection on your personal journey through the year. Praying with the Anglican Prayer Beads resembles a very short form of the office, Introductory Rite, Psalm verses, Gospel verses, Prayers, Collect, the Lords Prayer, Conclusion.
Scholar, ecclesiastic, teacher and poet of the eighth century, Alcuin was a person of deep Christian faith, tenacious in his loyalty to orthodox Catholic theology. He had a seminal influence upon his own generation and those that came after him. Althoughhe remained a Northumbrian Christian at heart, the part of his life about which most is known was spent on the Continent. He never lost contact with his homeland; but his most significant and lasting work was evidently accomplished in Europe and his influence on the early medieval Western Church was an abiding one. This book examines his life and career in England and on the continent; it also considers his legacy as a churchman and a leading political figure. This volume prefigures a forthcoming work onAlcuin's intellectual legacy, 'Alcuin : A Study of his Theology' (due for release, April 2013). This rich study is intended for the general reader as well as for those studying, teaching or researching this period of early medieval history and theology in schools and universities.

The liturgical year is a relatively modern invention. The term itself only came into use in the late sixteenth century. In antiquity, Christians did not view the various festivals and fasts that they experienced as a unified whole. Instead, the different seasons formed a number of completely unrelated cycles and tended to overlap and conflict with one another. Drawing upon the latest research, the authors track the development of the Churchs feasts, fasts, and seasons, including the sabbath and Sunday, Holy Week and Easter, Christmas and Epiphany, and the feasts of the Virgin Mary, the martyrs, and other saints.
Fully revised and expanded, this new work is the first major revision of the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in more than 40 years!

For years the oft revised volume, Lesser Feasts and Fasts (LFF), has served parishes and individuals mark part of the holiness...
