- The Rev. Daniel Adkinson of St. Thomas Anglican Church gives an introduction to the Book of Common Prayer (2019) of the Anglican Church in North America. This class is being offered to help people engage, understand, and use the resources of the prayer book.
The first session is about the concept of a prayer book and ways to think about prayer - especially written prayers and the fear of prayer plagiarism.

I am just coming to Anglican from Catholic Church as Anglican was where I was christened and my parents church ( Church of England) I want to learn about Anglican tradition as I believe it is my heritage because of my parents
It seems like Anglican liturgical and domestic worship are having growth due to those old and faithful classics, the books of common prayer for the various Anglican jurisdictions that still have and use traditional liturgy. The Intervarsity Press edition of an international edition of the B.C.P. was an ingenious conception. 1662 is beckoning to people in greater numbers than ever before! I use the BCP even though I am a Lutheran. I do not use it so much as in the past, since the two newest hymnal and service book editions of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod are so much superior for individual use than pior service books from the 1940s and before that.
Thank you for this call to prayer. It seems to me that Paul's exhortation to "pray without ceasing" has its own counterpart and explanation in 2 Corinthians 10:5: "[W]e take every thought captive to obey Christ." We never stop thinking, so the constant activity of our minds provides us with the opportunity to capture each thought and make it captive to Jesus. That sounds like praying without ceasing to me. Constant thinking, constant prayer, constant worship. We begin the practice of hallowing the Father's name in our minds and hearts as it is in heaven. It also provides us with the antidote for our natural inclination to allow the enemy to draw our thoughts into a downward and unfruitful spiral. When a fearful thought enters our mind, we take it captive and surrender it to Jesus. Thanks be to God!
"All may, some should, none must." Love it!
Any may, all should, some (like me) must use a BCP! 😊
This is a fantastic resource for the greater church, Fr. Adkinson -- thank you for investing your time to do it!
This is so helpful and much needed! Thank you and looking forward to all the sessions 😀
Hello! Thank you for this video. It's a big help to have that for my Personal prayer life, I wish to have that. We don't have that here in the Philippines. I pray to have my own copy this Christmas.
Repent and return to the traditional Anglican Missal. 1928 BCP ftw.
God dictates certain books . . . he doesn't code software he doesn't produce films he doesn't score symphonies. He is an author and this claim has achieved credibility. because these books are deemed so profound that they could not possibly have been written by human authors. Please consider for a moment how differently we treat scientific claims and texts and discoveries. Isaac Newton went into isolation for 18 months starting in the year 1665. When he came out of his solitude he had invented the calculus he had discovered the laws of motion and universal gravitation he had single-handedly created the field of optics. No one thinks this was anything other than a man's labor and it took 200 years of continuous ingenuity on the part of some of the smartest people who ever lived to substantially improve upon Newton's work. How difficult would it be to improve The Bible? Anyone in this room could improve the supposedly inerrant text scientifically, historically, ethically, spiritually in moments. If god loves us and wanted to guide us with a book of morality it's very strange to have given us a book that supports slavery, that demands that we murder people for imaginary crimes like witchcraft. The true basis for hope in our world is open-ended conversation and religion has shattered our world into competing moral communities. What we have to convince ourselves of is that love and curiosity is enough for us and intellectual honesty is the guardian of that.
