Prayer Book Studies Volume Two (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A landmark series of studies devoted to the revision the of Book of Common Prayer -- Volume Two addresses the Litany and the Daily Office.

The creation of the landmark 1979 American Book of Common Prayer was the fruit of nearly four decades of discussion within the Episcopal Church. Prayer Book Studies is a series of official reports by the Church's Standing Liturgical Commission that were published irregularly over the course of that period, representing the work of the committees deliberating over and drafting the materials that would eventually become the 1979 revision. These reports provide an extraordinary window into the work of leading liturgical scholars during an age characterized by huge transformations in the fields of liturgy. Long out of print and unavailable, these reports, collected in nine volumes, are an invaluable resource for liturgical scholars and clergy.

In Volume 2 The Litany and Daily Office--including the Calendar-- are addressed, completing the chief elements of Anglican/Episcopal public worship. The materials here begin with the Litany study published in 1953; the others appeared in 1957.
