Book of Common Prayer (1979)

Requires Accordance 11.2 or above and Mobile app version 2.4.

The full title of the Book of Common Prayer is “The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church.” As it sounds, the BCP includes the common liturgies for all the various rites and practices of the church, including the Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany, and Holy Communion as well as the occasional services in full: the orders for Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, ‘prayers to be said with the sick,’ and a Funeral service.

The Book of Common Prayer is the foundational prayer book of the Church of England. It was one of the instruments of the Protestant Reformation in England, and was also adapted and revised for use in other churches in the Anglican Communion. It replaced the various Latin rites that had been used in different parts of the country with a single compact volume in English. First produced in 1549, it was drastically revised in 1552 and more subtly changed in 1559 and 1662. A modern liturgical text bearing the BCP name is widely used in the Episcopal Church of America as well as some Methodist churches.

This product also includes two additional modules that contain 1) Daily Reading Lectionary Year 1 (BCP Daily Office 1) and 2) Daily Reading Lectionary Year 2 (BCP Daily Office 2).
