Common Worship

[JM]

I've been looking into and reading about prayer books and during my search I found an Anglican Breviary titled, "Common Worship." Can anyone tell me more about it? It looks very interesting.

Thank you.

Common Worship is the priciple prayerbook in use in the Church of England, alongside the 1662 BCP. It's been around since 2001.

:mad: Karen beat me to it.

Common Worship is an amazing book (or more accurately a series of books). I think the name of 'Common Worship' is a bit of a misnomer however as integral to it is a great deal of liturgical freedom meaning that in essence no two Parishes will ever celebrate it in quite the same way.

I studied to be a layreader, which lead me on an odyssey of sorts...I was to meet with the Bishop when I decided Anglicanism wasn't for me.

Thank you for your posts.
