Publisher's Synopsis
The story of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer has a far wider reach than the Church of England. The essays in this volume provide contemporary and historical accounts of the significance of the Book of Common Prayer for a variety of Christian traditions. Originating as papers delivered at an ecumenical symposium held at Sarum College, Salisbury, UK marking the 350th Anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, the contributions to this book narrate a rich, diverse and probing account of a 'Godly Order' that has had a profound and long lasting impact upon English public prayer in the modern era.
