COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Next to the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, The Book of Common Prayer, in its various
revisions, is the most important liturgical and doctrinal text of the Anglican tradition. This course will
examine the place of the Prayer Book in the historical development of Christian worship within the
Anglican Church, both prior to and following 1549. The course will also study the liturgical and doctrinal
tradition of the Book of Common Prayer, together with its order and practical application in Divine
worship. Flowing from the development of the Prayer Book, will be the study of the Missals used in the
Anglo-Catholic tradition of eucharistic worship.
- Teacher: Archbishop Shane Janzen
