Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition, Black, CP220 Black Imitation Leather Hardback 601B

I love the red leather Hard cover. very good prayer book

Good prayer book

This is the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer, which is I presume much the same as when Archbishop Cranmer sat down with his clergy over 450 years ago to write it. The current book is well printed and bound, with this edition being contained in a pleasing red cover rather than (in my experience) the conventional black. The main text that changes over the years is the Prayer for the Royal Family, in this edition on pages 14 and 25 (and possibly hiding elsewhere too). Until I reached my late 30s this prayer never changed, but then the sad deaths of Diana and then the Queen Mother altered the wording. Since then there have been several changes, and the 6 May 2023 coronation is reflected in this book with the inclusion of Queen Camilla - see photo. The other text that changes mainly is the Table of Moveable Feasts at the beginning of the book, spread over 3 pages covering 1999 to 2105 (which may, depending on your expectations, be of more relevance to your descendants than to you). If by chance you are less than fully absorbed in listening to a lengthy sermon, you can always look at page lvii for the Table to Find Easter Day, where you can practise dividing by 19 to find the Golden Number for the year you first thought of. If that doesn't push you back into engaging with the service, then may God help you. 5 stars.

Clear print and was what I was looking for.

The Book of Common Prayer, Standard Edition arrived promptly from the seller. It had been ordered to replace a copy I had lost a number of years ago. I am "old money" in the Church of England (Church in Wales) and do not like the change of language that are now fashionable in the modern liturgy: thus I am traditional. I am now virtually housebound and reference to this edition of the Book of Common Prayer gives me a lot of comfort. I can recommend the publication to other traditionalists...may the Lord have mercy.

Lovely little prayer book. Beautifully wtapped. Good price

This book is gold. It's basically how to run Anglican church services! I love it. There's loads to do each day in there. The font is small (which could be bad for people with bad eyesight, but if you can cope with small text then it's a great book to have around. If you struggle with your eyesight then I would go for a bigger one, but I love it.

Beautiful compact edition

Sarà perché sono un diacono della comunità episcopale/anglicana, ma considero il Book of Common Prayer un capolavoro letterario e un perfetto e mirabilmente sintetico manuale di liturgia, dottrina e preghiera. Rappresenta il fulcro della fede anglicana, e quindi della "Via Media" tra gli eccessi del cattolicesimo e quelli del protestantesimo. Non dicevano forse i valorosi antenati romani che "in medio stat virtus" (la virtù sta nel mezzo)?

This is a great little book for anglican Christians. Has everything you need.

Ótima aliança entre tamanho de bolso e tamanho da fonte. Ótimo pra acompanhar Evening prayers cantadas no YouTube.

I bought this Prayer book for my mother in law and she is very happy with it. The print is quite small so my only advice would be make sure you don't have problems with your vision before buying it.

As expected
