"We may be confident that liturgical worship is the best of all.

There is some loss in the use of printed words; but there is a greater gain. We have in them the accumulated wisdom and beauty of the Christian Church, the garnered excellence of the saints. We are by them released from the accidents of time and place. Above all we are preserved against the worst dangers of selfishness: in the common prayer we join together in a great fellowship that is as wide as the world; and we are guided, not by the limited notions of our own priest, nor by the narrow impulses of our own desires, but by the mighty voice that rises from the general heart of Christendom."  — Percy Dearmer, Everyman’s History of the PrayerBook, 1912
"The 1662 Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England, and along with it the other Prayer Books of the Anglican Communion, have been hugely influential in shaping the identity of the Communion as a seriously liturgical fellowship of Churches. In some Provinces, especially where it is used in a local vernacular tongue,

it still feeds people with a secure spirituality;

and in these and other Provinces it often remains as a standard of doctrine." — from The Lambeth Conference, 1988; Mission and Ministry, 184
"The Book of Common Prayer: a book

so scriptural that it is full of scripture from one end to the other,

and built altogether upon it; so catholic that nothing therein is found contrary to the decrees and practice of the apostolic, nay the universal Church, men’s private fancies only being excluded; so comprehensive that every man finds his wants represented and his petitions anticipated;...let a man be as devout as he will, he will find his devotion cannot soar to a higher pitch, if it be sober, rational and Christian; and withal so elevated that it leads us above the narrow views and petty prejudices of party into the clam and holy atmosphere of heaven." —  Bishop John Medley
“I believe there is no liturgy in the world, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of a solid, scriptural, rational piety, than the Common Prayer of the Church of England: and though the main of it was compiled considerably more than two hundred years ago, yet is the language of it

not only pure, but strong and elegant in the highest degree.”

 — John Wesley, 1784

“Through radical changes in polity, through revolutionary movements in Church and in society in general, through frequent “theological shifts” of one sort or another, the relative stability of the Prayer Book

tradition has provided a focus of unity, in which Anglicans

could recognize their self-identity. Everything distinctively Anglican is embraced by, fostered by, and preserved by that tradition, so that the Prayer Book constitutes, in fact, the fullest expression of the consensus fidelium for Anglicans.” — Robert Crouse

Trinity 21: Pardon and Peace, leading to a Quiet Mind

PeterToonDuring his lifetime, Dr. Peter Toon wrote many reflections upon the Collects found in the 1662/1928 Book of Common Prayer.  What follows is a reflection he wrote  in 2006 on the Collect for the Twenty-First Sunday after Trinity.  When Dr. Toon wrote this he was clearly very concerned with the crisis overtaking his beloved Anglican Church.  His comments are as helpful now as they were then.

For All the Saints - A Sermon for All Saint's Day

 

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Icon all_saints_03

 

The Feast of All Saints celebrates something that quite frankly we have trouble believing in - that there is a consolation adequate to the hideous sufferings this world inflicts quite routinely on its inhabitants. Yet All Saints insists on this: that those who come out of “great tribulation” for the sake of Christ, attain “unspeakable joys”.
