  • Lent 2020 the Angelus a Publication of the Church of Our Saviour
    Lent 2020 THE ANGELUS A Publication of the Church of Our Saviour Lent is a season of preparation for Easter. It begins with Ash The Season Wednesday (February 26 this year) and ends on Holy Saturday (April 11). The liturgy of Ash Wednesday, as found in The Book of Common Prayer, says that one should celebrate Lent “by self- of Lent examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.” While there are many important liturgical feasts throughout Lent, as part of the Keeping the Feast series, we will mark the Feast of the Annunciation on Wednesday, March 25. Holy Week will begin on April 5 with Palm Sunday. That day we will have a combined 10am Mass and procession, followed by a simple Lenten meal. The last three days of Lent, which includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, are often called the Holy Triduum. Our Easter Season will begin with the Easter Vigil on the evening of Saturday, April 11. During Lent there will be no flowers at the altar, except for Laetare Sunday and the Feast of the Annunciation. Alleluia will not be said during the services, and we will not say or sing the Gloria in Excelsis at the beginning of the Masses (except for the above-mentioned feast day). The verse of scripture which precedes the Gospel at Mass is called the Tract, since it is said or sung without alleluias. We will say the Prayer of Humble Access at each service. The liturgical color is a dark and somber purple, usually with silver, rather than gold, trim.

  • From Texts for Common Prayer the Anglican Church in North America
    From Texts for Common Prayer The Anglican Church in North America The Purpose Behind the Practice Christians throughout history have believed that worship is done not just with the mind but with the body and spirit as well. Here at Christ the Redeemer we fully embrace this ancient pattern of practice, and we attempt to engage all of our senses as we worship. Because there are some things we can't always see with our eyes, we do visual things —like wearing vestments (colorful garments) and following a cross—to remind us of the larger, spiritual reality of which we’re all a part, Prayer and praise, giving and receiving, standing and kneeling, speaking and listening, smelling and tasting, seeing and doing—these are all means to help us come close, in a physical way, to the spiritual reality of God. The guide you hold in your hands is offered as a resource to help you worship. You are welcome to engage at whatever level you are most comfortable. And no one is watching to see if you’re doing everything “correctly. “ In sincere worship there’s no such thing as a mistake, so just relax and go for it! We’ll be happy to answer any questions following the service. This symbol is a prompt for making the Sign of the Cross. May our Lord Jesus Christ abundantly bless you as you draw near to him today. It’s Okay to turn on your mobile device in church! If you’re using it as a digital worship guide, that is.

  • Holy Communion, Anglican Standard Text, 1662 Order FINAL
    Concerning the Service Holy Communion is normally the principal service of Christian worship on the Lord’s Day, and on other appointed Feasts and Holy Days. Two forms of the liturgy, commonly called the Lord’s Supper or the Holy Eucharist, are provided. The Anglican Standard Text is essentially that of the Holy Communion service of the Book of Common Prayer of 1662 and successor books through 1928, 1929 and 1962. The Anglican Standard Text is presented in contemporary English and in the order for Holy Communion that is common, since the late twentieth century, among ecumenical and Anglican partners worldwide. The Anglican Standard Text may be conformed to its original content and ordering, as in the 1662 or subsequent books; the Additional Directions give clear guidance on how this is to be accomplished. Similarly, there are directions given as to how the Anglican Standard Text may be abbreviated where appropriate for local mission and ministry. The Renewed Ancient Text is drawn from liturgies of the Early Church, reflects the influence of twentieth century ecumenical consensus, and includes elements of historic Anglican piety. A comprehensive collection of Additional Directions concerning Holy Communion is found after the Renewed Ancient Text: The order of Holy Communion according to the Book of Common Prayer 1662 The Anglican Standard Text may be re-arranged to reflect the 1662 ordering as follows: The Lord’s Prayer The Collect for Purity The Decalogue The Collect of the Day The Lessons The Nicene Creed The Sermon The Offertory The Prayers of the People The Exhortation The Confession and Absolution of Sin The Comfortable Words The Sursum Corda The Sanctus The Prayer of Humble Access The Prayer of Consecration and the Ministration of Communion (ordered according to the footnote) The Lord’s Prayer The Post Communion Prayer The Gloria in Excelsis The Blessing The precise wording of the ACNA text and rubrics are retained as authorized except in those places where the text would not make grammatical sense.

  • The Prayer of Humble Access
    The Prayer of Humble Access: Fr Ken Clark, The Personal Ordinariate of OLSC In the Ordinariate mass, Divine Worship: The Missal, the third form of the Roman Rite Mass authorized for use by Roman Catholics in the Personal Ordinariates established under Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Cœtibus, the Prayer of Humble Access is located before communion. What is the Prayer of Humble Access? We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. The history of this prayer is rather unique though it does bear some correlation to the earlier Apologia Sacerdotesi, or the Apology of a Priest, said before the altar by the priest alone. It first appears in English, in the “1548 Order of the Communion, a newly-decreed collection of prayers in English to prepare worshippers for the sacrament in both species, bread and wine.” ii It was written by Thomas Cranmer who was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1532 until his trial for heresy when he was deprived of his Archbishopric on December 4th 1555. One could ask the question, could anything good come from a heretic, and the answer must be that God uses all, even heretics, as this prayer now is part of Divine Worship – the Missal.

  • Anglican Worship and Sacramental Theology 1
    The Beauty of Holiness: Anglican Worship and Sacramental Theology 1 THE CONGRESS OF TRADITIONAL ANGLICANS June 1–4, 2011 - Victoria, BC, Canada An Address by The Reverend Canon Kenneth Gunn-Walberg, Ph.D. Rector of St. Mary’s, Wilmington, Delaware After Morning Prayer Friday in Ascensiontide, June 3, 2011 THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS: ANGLICAN WORSHIP AND SACRAMENTAL THEOLOGY When I was approached by Fr. Sinclair to make this presentation, he suggested that the conceptual framework of the lectures would be that they be positive presentations of traditional Anglican principles from both a biblical and historical perspective and in the light of the contemporary issues in contrast to traditional Anglicanism, especially as expressed in the Affirmation of St. Louis and in the 39 Articles. The rubrics attached to this paper were that Anglican worship should be examined in the light of contemporary liturgies, the Roman Rite, and the proposed revision of the Book of Common Prayer to bring it in line with Roman views. This perforce is a rather tall order; so let us begin. The late Pulitzer Prize winning poet W.H. Auden stated that the Episcopal Church “seems to have gone stark raving mad…And why? The Roman Catholics have had to start from scratch, and as any of them with a feeling for language will admit, they have made a cacophonous horror of the mass. Whereas we had the extraordinary good fortune in that our Prayer Book was composed at exactly the right historical moment. The English language had become more or less what it is today…but the ecclesiastics of the 16 th century still professed a feeling for the ritual and ceremonies which today we have almost entirely lost.” 1 While one might quibble somewhat with what he said, he certainly would have been more indignant had he witnessed me little more than a decade after his death celebrating the Eucharist before the Dean and Canons of St.

  • Instructed Eucharist Booklet.Pub
    A Guide for an Instructed Eucharist BASIC LITURGICS Liturgy “Liturgy” comes from the Greek word leitourgia, which literally means “work of the people.” It was used to refer to a public work done at private expense and could be used to classify projects like a privately-financed bridge that was being built for the use of a whole town. The public libraries built by Andrew Carnegie could also be considered a of leitourgia. In church usage, liturgy is the act of worship that we do on behalf of ourselves, the wider Church, and the world. Eucharist The word Eucharist comes from the Greek word eucharistia, which means “thanksgiving.” For this reason the Prayer Book also calls the Eucharistic Prayer by the label “The Great Thanksgiving.” The service of Holy Communion is our great act of thanksgiving to God. The Structure of the Eucharistic Liturgy The Eucharistic Liturgy is divided into two main parts: (1) The Liturgy of the Word - The Gathering Rite - The Lessons & Sermon - The Creed - The Intercessions and Confession - The Peace (2) The Liturgy of the Table - The Offertory - The Eucharistic Prayer - The Lord’s Prayer - The Fraction - Holy Communion - The Post-Communion Prayer - Blessing and Dismissal Terms for Those Who Help With Worship Celebrant: A priest or bishop who presides at the liturgy Deacon: A person ordained to the diaconate can help with reading the gospel, leading the Prayers of the People, leading the Confession, setting the Altar at Offertory, distributing Communion, cleaning up after Communion, the Dismissal Crucifer: Someone who carries the processional cross Acolyte: Literally this means “torch-bearer” Lay Eucharistic Ministers : Lay people who have been authorized by the Bishop and the Rector to help distribute Commun- ion, usually by being chalice-bearers Book-bearer: The person who carries the Gospel Book in procession and holds it during the Gospel Reading Preacher: A person who gives a sermon or homily Lector: A person who reads a lesson from the Bible.

  • Thomas Cranmer Prayer Book Lent Talk 2012
    Worship in English: Thomas Cranmer and the Book of Common Prayer Wembdon Lent Talk 7th March 2012. Ed Moll Introduction Which of the following would you expect to see in Church? Hocus-pocus, Quasimodo, hokey-cokey? If you have not come across these, Hocus Pocus is the phrase uttered by a conjuror when he performs a trick; Quasimodo is the name given to the hunchback of Notre-Dame in the novel by Victor Hugo, and the hokey-cokey is a dance. They are all thought to be derived from parts of the Mass, the Catholic service in latin: Hocus-pocus and hokey-cokey both might come from the phrase Hoc est corpus, and Quasimodo is taken from words used on the first Sunday after Easter “Quasi modo geniti infantes”. What they illustrate is that many people knew the words of the latin services but had no idea what they meant. This evening we’re going to meet Thomas Cranmer, perhaps the greatest architect of worship in English. He did this so that people in church would know what they are doing, and therefore would know the God whom they were worshipping. Setting the Scene The Protestant Church was born during the period we call the Reformation. Before this time, there was only one official Church in Western Europe, the Roman Catholic church. There were underground movements as we will see next time, but they were persecuted. The Church of England was one of several churches which emerged during the Reformation, along with Lutheran churches in Northern Europe, Reformed churches in Switzerland and Germany, and a whole variety of others.
