Description
For more than 460 years, The Book of Common Prayer has been a treasured resource for those of the Episcopal faith. Within its pages, countless many have found guidance, strength, and hope. One of the most major works of English literature, it has been used steadily for weddings, baptisms, and Episcopal church products and services since it was first published. Phrases from within the text, such as “Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust” and “Till death do us part,” are common in a few of the traditions and ceremonies celebrated today by many Christians.
Every day, readers will turn to it as a map to guide them as they shuttle along the path of their spiritual journey; they are going to turn to it in times of sickness and sorrow; and it’ll be ever-present by their side as they celebrate joyous occasions.
