WHITSUNTIDE 1999 — 450 Years of the COMMON PRAYER in English May/dune 1999 Volume 18, Numbers MANDATF THE BI-MONTHLY MAGAZINE OF THE PRAYER BOOK SOCIETY WHITSUNTIDE 1999 — 450 years of THE COMMON PRAYER in English Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, editor of the first Book of the Common Prayer, 1549 Almighty and eternal Father, by whose providence this Episcopal Church received the Book of Common Prayer from the Church of England for the ordering of her prayers and praises; grant us also the help of Thy grace to worship Thee with understanding and holy fear, in spirit and in truth, and in the blest com­ munion of saints; through Christ our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen. THE LIVING PAST FOR THE PRESENT AND INTO THE FUTURE CONTENTS 3. Reflections from the Editor's Desk: Reading Scripture. 4. The Preface of The Book of the Common Prayer (1549). 5. The Common Prayer (1549-1928) as daily order. 7. The Eucharistic Heart of the Prayer Book - the Lectionary 8. John Merbecke, Musician and Biblical Scholar. 9. An Ordination First in Shreveport, Louisiana. 11. An Incredible Claim by David Mills 12. Devotions and the Common Prayer. 13. A Letter from the P.B.S. to Seven Primates. 14. A Continental Congress: "Let us reason together." 15. A Letter from the Archbishops assembled in Singapore 16. A Bidding Prayer for the 450th Anniversary. What is the Prayer Book Society? First of all, what it is not: 1. It is not a historical society — though it does take history seriously. 2. It is not merely a preservation society — though it does seek to preserve what is good. 3. It is not merely a traditionahst society — though it does receive holy tradition gratefully. 4. It is not a reactionary society, existing only by opposing modern trends. 5. It is not a synod or council, organized as a church within the Church. In the second place, what it is: 1. It is composed of faithful Episcopalians who seek to keep alive in the Church the classic Common Prayer Tradition of the Anglican Way, which began within the Church of England in 1549. They wish to worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness and in a dignified and understandable English. 2. It claims that the Constitution of the Episcopal Church gives to rectors and parishes, as well as individual Episcopalians, the right to use the last genuine Book of Common Prayer in America, the 1928 BCP. 3. It is committed to educating and informing people of the nature and content of the Common Prayer Tradition, and its use for Holy Communion, the Daily Offices, Baptism, Funerals, family prayers and personal devotions. 4. It is involved (in cooperation with sister societies in Canada, Britain and Australia) in maintaining and teaching that Biblical Faith, Order and Morality to which the Common Prayer Tradition, along with the other Anglican Formularies, witness. 5. It seeks to do the above through lectures, seminars, pubhcations, phone conversations, an intemet web site and work in local churches. Its educational outreach is called the Cranmer-Seabury House of Studies.

  • St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral Evensong
    Evensong The THIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY 29 August 2021 | 5:00pm St. Peter’s Anglican Cathedral Reaching One Another, Tallahassee, and the World with the Transforming Love of Jesus Christ EVENSONG Please observe silence before the service for prayer and meditation. All mobile telephones, pagers, and electronic devices should be turned off prior to the service. When you enter a St. Peter’s worship service/event, you will be entering an area where photography, video, and audio recording may occur. “Daily Morning and Evening Prayer are the established rites (offices) by which, both corporately and individually, God’s people annually encounter the whole of Holy Scriptures, daily confess their sins and praise Almighty God, and offer timely thanksgivings, petitions, and intercessions.” (2019 Book of Common Prayer, Page 6). Unlike the Eucharist, these Daily Offices can be said by anyone either publicly or privately. Many churches, like Saint Peter’s, say or sing the Offices publicly on a daily basis. While on the weekdays our Evening Prayer is said, on Sunday evenings it will be sung. The service of Evensong is Evening Prayer sung by the people, or chorally by a choir on behalf of the people. Musical settings are drawn from many eras, some reflecting modern prayer book language and others from the original 1662 Book of Common Prayer. We invite you to join along, as able, or sit in prayerful contemplation as the voices of the singers and scripture wash over you. Prelude Remain seated. Ringing of the Bell Please stand. Opening Scripture Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world.

  • The Plight of Anglican Church Music in the Western Cape: Three Case Studies
    THE PLIGHT OF ANGLICAN CHURCH MUSIC IN THE WESTERN CAPE: THREE CASE STUDIES Levi Eudo Alexander Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Choral Conducting) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Martin Berger March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Levi Alexander March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Music ministries still providing Anglican church congregations with traditional Anglican church music find themselves clutching onto a musical tradition in a church plagued by the increasing secularisation of society. This thesis, in three case studies, investigates the musical output and general daily function of three Anglican churches in the Western Cape by interviewing the rector and music director of each parish. Each parish was selected as it presented a varied historical, musical, liturgical and churchmanship culture. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain, primarily, whether traditional music is under threat of falling into disuse in the church and secondly, if traditional music is indeed under threat, the possible measures which could be implemented to preserve the heritage for future generations of Anglican worshippers.

Haugaard Spring semester, 2003-2004 E-mail: [email protected] The purpose of the course is to survey worship, prayer, and community in the context of the Book of Common Prayer from the sixteenth reformation through the ecumenical liturgical movement of the twentieth century. The British churches will provide the major focus up to the latter years of the eighteenth century when, in North America, foreign “Anglican” churches begin to modify the exclusively English setting and character of the Prayer Book. Throughout the course students will be encouraged to relate the developments of this distinctive tradition with those in other parts of the larger Christian community. The course will review and analyze the historical development of liturgy, including rite, ceremony, music, and architectural surroundings. Throughout, attention will be given to the relation of community worship to personal devotion and to the character of the larger community in which liturgy is celebrated.
