0001-1008 txt 45727 p.9 - new PDF Supplied PU from 45803 - 02/29/2016PrefaceIt is a most invaluable part of that blessed “liberty wherewith Christhath made us free,” that in his worship different forms and usages maywithout offence be allowed, provided the substance of the Faith be keptentire; and that, in every Church, what cannot be clearly determined tobelong to Doctrine must be referred to Discipline; and therefore, bycommon consent and authority, may be altered, abridged, enlarged,amended, or otherwise disposed of, as may seem most convenient for theedification of the people,” according to the various exigency of times andoccasions.”The Church of England, to which the Protestant Episcopal Church inthese States is indebted, under God, for her first foundation and a longcontinuance of nursing care and protection, hath, in the Preface of herBook of Common Prayer, laid it down as a rule, that “The particularForms of Divine Worship, and the Rites and Ceremonies appointed to beused therein, being things in their own nature indifferent, and alterable,and so acknowledged; it is but reasonable that upon weighty andimportant considerations, according to the various exigency of times andoccasions, such changes and alterations should be made therein, as tothose that are in place of Authority should, from time to time, seem eithernecessary or expedient.”The same Church hath not only in her Preface, but likewise in her Articlesand Homilies, declared the necessity and expediency of occasionalalterations and amendments in her Forms of Public Worship; and we findaccordingly, that, seeking to keep the happy mean between too muchstiffness in refusing, and too much easiness in admitting variations inPreface9

0001-1008 txt 45727 p.10 - new PDF Supplied PU from 45803 - 02/29/2016things once advisedly established, she hath, in the reign of several Princes,since the first compiling of her Liturgy in the time of Edward the Sixth,upon just and weighty considerations her thereunto moving, yielded tomake such alterations in some particulars, as in their respective timeswere thought convenient; yet so as that the main body and essential partsof the same (as well in the chiefest materials, as in the frame and orderthereof) have still been continued firm and unshaken.Her general aim in these different reviews and alterations hath been, asshe further declares in her said Preface, to do that which, according to herbest understanding, might most tend to the preservation of peace andunity in the Church; the procuring of reverence, and the exciting of pietyand devotion in the worship of God; and, finally, the cutting off occasion,from them that seek occasion, of cavil or quarrel against her Liturgy. Andalthough, according to her judgment, there be not any thing in it contraryto the Word of God, or to sound doctrine, or which a godly man may notwith a good conscience use and submit unto, or which is not fairlydefensible, if allowed such just and favourable construction as incommon equity ought to be allowed to all human writings; yet upon theprinciples already laid down, it cannot but be supposed that furtheralterations would in time be found expedient. Accordingly, a Commissionfor a review was issued in the year 1689: but this great and good workmiscarried at that time; and the Civil Authority has not since thoughtproper to revive it by any new Commission.But when in the course of Divine Providence, these American Statesbecame independent with respect to civil government, their ecclesiasticalindependence was necessarily included; and the different religiousdenominations of Christians in these States were left at full and equalliberty to model and organize their respective Churches, and forms ofworship, and discipline, in such manner as they might judge mostconvenient for their future prosperity; consistently with the constitutionand laws of their country.The attention of this Church was in the first place drawn to thosealterations in the Liturgy which became necessary in the prayers for ourCivil Rulers, in consequence of the Revolution. And the principal careherein was to make them conformable to what ought to be the properend of all such prayers, namely, that “Rulers may have grace, wisdom,10 Preface

0001-1008 txt 45727 p.11 - new PDF Supplied PU from 45803 - 02/29/2016and understanding to execute justice, and to maintain truth;” and that thepeople “may lead quiet and peaceable lives, in all godliness and honesty.”But while these alterations were in review before the Convention, theycould not but, with gratitude to God, embrace the happy occasion whichwas offered to them (uninfluenced and unrestrained by any worldlyauthority whatsoever) to take a further review of the Public Service, andto establish such other alterations and amendments therein as might bedeemed expedient.It seems unnecessary to enumerate all the different alterations andamendments. They will appear, and it is to be hoped, the reasons of themalso, upon a comparison of this with the Book of Common Prayer of theChurch of England. In which it will also appear that this Church is farfrom intending to depart from the Church of England in any essentialpoint of doctrine, discipline, or worship; or further than localcircumstances require.And now, this important work being brought to a conclusion, it is hopedthe whole will be received and examined by every true member of ourChurch, and every sincere Christian, with a meek, candid, and charitableframe of mind; without prejudice or prepossessions; seriously consideringwhat Christianity is, and what the truths of the Gospel are; and earnestlybeseeching Almighty God to accompany with his blessing every endeavourfor promulgating them to mankind in the clearest, plainest, most affectingand majestic manner, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our blessedLord and Saviour.Philadelphia, October, 1789.Preface 11

0001-1008 txt 45727 p.13 - new PDF Supplied PU from 45803 - 02/29/2016Concerning the Serviceof the ChurchThe Holy Eucharist, the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord’sDay and other major Feasts, and Daily Morning and Evening Prayer, asset forth in this Book, are the regular services appointed for publicworship in this Church.In addition to these services and the other rites contained in this Book,other forms set forth by authority within this Church may be used. Also,subject to the direction of the bishop, special devotions taken from thisBook, or from Holy Scripture, may be used when the needs of thecongregation so require.For special days of fasting or thanksgiving, appointed by civil or Churchauthority, and for other special occasions for which no service or prayerhas been provided in this Book, the bishop may set forth such forms asare fitting to the occasion.In all services, the entire Christian assembly participates in such a waythat the members of each order within the Church, lay persons, bishops,priests, and deacons, fulfill the functions proper to their respectiveorders, as set forth in the rubrical directions for each service.The leader of worship in a Christian assembly is normally a bishop orpriest. Deacons by virtue of their order do not exercise a presidingfunction; but, like lay persons, may officiate at the Liturgy of the Word,whether in the form provided in the Daily Offices, or (when a bishop orpriest is not present) in the form appointed at the Eucharist. Underexceptional circumstances, when the services of a priest cannot beobtained, the bishop may, at discretion, authorize a deacon to presideService of the Church 13

0001-1008 txt 45727 p.14 - new PDF Supplied PU from 45803 - 02/29/2016at other rites also, subject to the limitations described in the directionsfor each service.In any of the Proper Liturgies for Special Days, and in other servicescontained in this Book celebrated in the context of a Rite One service,the contemporary idiom may be conformed to traditional language.Hymns referred to in the rubrics of this Book are to be understood asthose authorized by this Church. The words of anthems are to be fromHoly Scripture, or from this Book, or from texts congruent with them.On occasion, and as appropriate, instrumental music may be substitutedfor a hymn or anthem.Where rubrics indicate that a part of a service is to be “said,” it must beunderstood to include “or sung,” and vice versa.When it is desired to use music composed for them, previously authorizedliturgical texts may be used in place of the corresponding texts in thisBook.Scriptural citations in this Book, except for the Psalms, follow thenumeration of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible.14 Service of the Church

0001-1008 txt 45727 p.15 - new PDF Supplied PU from 45803 - 02/29/2016The Calendarof the Church YearThe Church Year consists of two cycles of feasts and holy days: one isdependent upon the movable date of the Sunday of the Resurrection orEaster Day; the other, upon the fixed date of December 25, the Feast ofour Lord’s Nativity or Christmas Day.Easter Day is always the first Sunday after the full moon that falls onor after March 21.
