Legal Changes to the Procedure for Publishing the Banns of Marriage
LEGAL CHANGES TO THE PROCEDURE FOR PUBLISHING BANNS OF MARRIAGE The Church of England Marriage (Amendment) Measure is due to receive the Royal Assent on 19th December 2012. Section 2 of the Measure, which comes into force immediately when Royal Assent is given, makes some important changes to the statutory procedure for publishing banns of marriage. The clergy and others responsible for publishing banns need to be aware of these changes given the importance of banns being properly published. The two changes that will take effect on 19th December are– there will be statutory authority for the use of the form of words for the publication of banns contained in Common Worship: Pastoral Services (as an optional alternative to the form of words contained in the Book of Common Prayer) banns must be published on three Sundays at the ‘principal service’ (rather than as at present at ‘morning service’) and, as an option, they may additionally be published at any other service on those three Sundays. Alternative form of words for banns From 19th December there will be statutory authority for the alternative form of words for the publication of banns of marriage contained in Common Worship. o The clergy and others responsible for publishing banns may then use either the form of words set out in the rubric at the beginning of the Form of the Solemnization of Matrimony contained in the Book of Common Prayer or they may use the form of words set out at paragraph 2 in “Notes to the Marriage Service” in Common Worship: Pastoral Services.

Book of Common Prayer, Formatted As the Original
The Book of Common Prayer, Formatted as the original This document was created from a text file through a number of interations into InDesign and then to Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. This document is intended to exactly duplicate the Book of Common Prayer you might find in your parish church; the only major difference is that font sizes and all dimensions have been increased slightly (by about 12%) to adjust for the size difference between the BCP in the pew and a half- sheet of 8-1/2 X 11” paper. You may redistribute this document electronically provided no fee is charged and this header remains part of the document. While every attempt was made to ensure accuracy, certain errors may exist in the text. Please contact us if any errors are found.

Box 227 East Bridgewater, Mass. 02333 USA [email protected] http://satucket.com Concerning the Service Christian marriage is a solemn and public covenant between a man and a woman in the presence of God. In the Episcopal Church it is required that one, at least, of the parties must be a baptized Christian; that the ceremony be attested by at least two witnesses; and that the marriage conform to the laws of the State and the canons of this Church. A priest or a bishop normally presides at the Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage, because such ministers alone have the function of pronouncing the nuptial blessing, and of celebrating the Holy Eucharist.

March 2020 Banns of Marriage Can Only Be Called Within the Context of the Principal Service of Public Worship in a Parish Church
March 2020 Banns of Marriage can only be called within the context of the principal service of public worship in a parish church on a Sunday. Given that there will be no public worship taking place, Banns cannot be called. Banns cannot be called via a ‘live-streamed’ or ‘virtual service’ to a wider digital community but with no congregation physically present nor by any form of ‘public notice’ on the door of a parish church. For any wedding where Banns of Marriage have not been completed, and where the couple, in consultation with the Minister, do not wish to postpone their wedding (see below), a Common Marriage Licence will normally be required to authorise the marriage. Clergy and couples should talk to their relevant Diocesan Registry. A Common Marriage Licence is normally available if a couple would have been able to marry by banns. Common Marriage Licences are valid for three months from the date on which they are issued. Alternatively, a Superintendent Registrar’s Certificate might be available. This is a civil marriage preliminary issued through the local Registry Office but which can still authorise a marriage in the Church of England or Church in Wales but only for couples where one, or both, live in the Parish where the wedding is to take place or where the Parish Church is their usual place of worship (usually evidenced by being on the church electoral roll). A Superintendent Registrar’s Certificate cannot be issued where the couple have a Qualifying Connection to a parish (under the Church of England Marriage Measure 2008 or the Marriage (Wales) Act 2010) unless one or both of the couple are non-UK/EEA/Swiss Nationals – in which case the SRC is the only marriage preliminary available.

Marriage-Guidelines.Pdf
Church of the Holy Family Sacrament of Marriage Guidelines Congratulations on Your Engagement You are engaged to be married and, desiring the blessing of God on your union, have approached the Church to witness and seal your vows to each other. Marriage is a divine vocation involving an enduring sacred relationship lived in the community of the Church and the wider human family. For Catholics, marriage is a sacrament of Christ’s love expressed in a couple’s living out their marriage vows day to day in the grace of the Lord. Even when a valid marriage is not a sacrament, a Christian and an unbaptized spouse commit themselves to each other in radical openness to the design of God the Creator. The priests and staff of Holy Family Parish are ready and willing to assist you as you prepare to celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage in our parish church. We promise to pray for you in a special way during this time and rejoice that God has called you together. How many meetings are we expected to attend? You will meet with a priest or a deacon three to four times. The first of these meetings gives you a chance to meet the priest or deacon who will witness your marriage, to discuss your desire to be married in the Church and provides an opportunity for the exchange of information. Between your first and second meeting, you are expected to complete a FOCCUS pre-marital inventory. At your second meeting the priest or deacon will review your FOCCUS results and introduce you to the theology of marriage.

Canon XXI (Marriage in the Church)
CANON XXI On Marriage in the Church Preface 1. The Anglican Church of Canada affirms, according to our Lord’s teaching as found in Holy Scripture and expressed in the Form of Solemnization of Matrimony in the Book of Common Prayer, that marriage is a lifelong union in faithful love, and that marriage vows are a commitment to this union, for better or for worse, to the exclusion of all others on either side. This union is established by God’s grace when two duly qualified persons enter into a covenant of marriage in which they declare their intention of fulfilling its purposes and exchange vows to be faithful to one another until they are separated by death. The purposes of marriage are mutual fellowship, sup- port, and comfort, and the procreation (if it may be) and nurture of children, and the creation of a relationship in which sexuality may serve personal fulfilment in a community of faithful love. This covenant is made in the sight of God and in the presence of witnesses and of an authorized minister. 2. The Church affirms in like manner the goodness of the union of man and woman in marriage, this 1 2 being of God’s creation. Marriage also is exalted as a sign of the redeeming purpose of God to unite 3 4 all things in Christ, the purpose made known in the reunion of divided humanity in the Church. 1. Cf. Gen. 1:27–31 2. Eph. 5:31f. 3. Eph. 1:9f. 4. Eph. 2:11–16 3. The Church throughout its history has recognized that not all marriages in human society conform, or are intended to conform, to the standard here described.

The Parish Clerk
The Parish Clerk by P. H. Ditchfield THE PARISH CLERK CHAPTER I OLD-TIME CHOIRS AND PARSONS A remarkable feature in the conduct of our modern ecclesiastical services is the disappearance and painless extinction of the old parish clerk who figured so prominently in the old-fashioned ritual dear to the hearts of our forefathers. The Oxford Movement has much to answer for! People who have scarcely passed the rubicon of middle life can recall the curious scene which greeted their eyes each Sunday morning when life was young, and perhaps retain a tenderness for old abuses, and, like George Eliot, have a lingering liking for nasal clerks and top-booted clerics, and sigh for the departed shades of vulgar errors. Then and now--the contrast is great. Then the hideous Georgian "three- decker" reared its monstrous form, blocking out the sight of the sanctuary; immense pews like cattle-pens filled the nave. The woodwork was high and panelled, sometimes richly carved, as at Whalley Church, Lancashire, where some pews have posts at the corners like an old-fashioned four-posted bed. Sometimes two feet above the top of the woodwork there were brass rods on which slender curtains ran, and were usually drawn during sermon time in order that the attention of the occupants of the pew might not be distracted from devout meditations on the preacher's discourse--or was it to woo slumber? A Berkshire dame rather admired these old-fashioned pews, wherein, as she naively expressed it, "a body might sleep comfortable without all the parish knowin' on it." It was of such pews that Swift wrote in his Baucis and Philemon: "A bedstead of the antique mode, Compact of timber many a load, Such as our ancestors did use Was metamorphosed into pews; Which still their ancient nature keep By lodging folks disposed to sleep." The squire's pew was a wondrous structure, with its own special fire-place, the fire in which the old gentleman used to poke vigorously when the parson was too long in preaching.
