Awesome spiritual reference

As an adjunct volume to BCP, written with Anglo Catholics in mind, i find this volume to be a treasure in my spiritual life. The prayers and devotions are in the modern, inclusive language used by TEC, yet the adaptations loose none of their majesty. Just about every variation of Anglican use is represented here. I am using this more and more as time goes on for my own devotionals, and for suggestions to the liturgical committee i serve on in my parish. I would recommend this to any Anglo Catholic who is need of deeper devotional resource.

Perfect Anglo Catholic prayer book to date

Just a wonderful and great prayer book for a Anglo Catholic to own. It as, if your in a catholic prayer book and a Catholic could use it, if he or she wanted too. It would be nice in the future, if they could do American verison of it as well over the years to come. I have two copies and i use them alot, but I like use many prayer books to keep my faith open to all Christian tradtions.

Could do without the prayers from partisan sources

What a beautifully done and essential book for the Anglo-Catholic. I do have one quibble though -- as the introduction states, this is a prayer book, not a political book. Yet it warns that some prayers might seem like they are from "partisan sources" -- and in a few cases, that is definitely true. I wish these "partisan" prayers had been left out in favor of prayers for the unity of Holy Church. Other than that, it is a great volume -- and the delicate illustrations in the section devoted to Our Lady are an especially nice touch.

Great Devotional for Anglo-Catholics

We use this devotional on Holy Days in my church and we love it!

Overall a Good Source, But Needs Better Indexing

I agree with the previous reviewer that there may be a bit too much modernization in the language, but that does make it easier to do with a family. For personal prayer time, I prefer the Anglican Breviary, but that language is quite archaic, and so I don't use it with the family.What's also nice with this book is that it has some nice devotions, like the stations of the cross adapted for more of the family environment. It also provides several variants of Morning, Daily, and Evening prayer so that you have choices.My only complaint is that it isn't indexed very well, and references are made to other sections that are awfully hard to find. For instance, in the non-traditional language Morning Prayer you are instructed to use week1 Psalmody for Passion Week and week2 for Holy Week. Finding the week1 and week2 Psalmody is quite difficult. It turns out its buried in the traditional language Morning Prayer (I think that's what is being referred to).
