The Oxford Guide to The Book of Common Prayer by Cynthia L. Shattuck Pdf
This is a survey of the history of the 'Book of Common Prayer', and its descendants throughout the world. The guide shows how a classic text for worship and devotion has become the progenitor of an entire family of religious resources that have had an influence far beyond their use in Anglican churches.
This book might be considered a companion to Sunday celebrations in the absence of a priest and A ritual for lady persons. It addresses the questions: Who is the lay person who leads the community in prayer? What is their relationship to the community? What skills and/or training should be required? -- What sort of spiritual formation is desirable? How can the parish community or diocese help to promote their ministerial identity? Because lay ministry is not a stop-gap solution to a temporary need but a gift to the Church for the long term, these questions need careful consideration. --Book cover.
