Opis

Originally published in 1922, this book provides a detailed discussion of the revision, adaptation and enrichment of the Book of Common Prayer for the use of the Anglican Communion in Canada. The first part of the book tells the story of the movement for revision in Canada, portrays the revisers at their work and records the progress of the revision through all of its many stages. The second part takes the revised Prayer Book service by service and shows what alterations were made, and the source or origin of the new matter introduced. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Canadian Anglicanism and the Book of Common Prayer.
