Thinking about Liturgy and Worship

  • Liturgical Principles: Principles to Guide the Revision of Contemporary Language Common Worship Texts of the Anglican Church of Canada
    These principles were adopted at General Synod 2010. This document serves as a grounding for thinking about worship in the context of the local community’s mission and may be used for parish or individual study.

  • The Prayer Book Society of Canada
    From the introduction to their website: “Promoting the understanding and use of the Book of Common Prayer as a spiritual system of nurture for life in Christ. …The PBSC is a national organization dedicated to promoting the Book of Common Prayer – the official (but often under-appreciated) standard of faith and worship for the Anglican Church of Canada.
  • Associated Parishes for Liturgy and Mission
    From the introduction to their website: “The Associated Parishes for Liturgy and Mission is an association of people in the Episcopal Church of the USA, the Anglican Church of Canada, and sister churches who share a passion for liturgy that is well done, appropriate to the culture and context, and revelatory of God’s lively mission in the world. It was founded in 1946 out of a deep frustration that Morning Prayer was none of these things. The Council of Associated Parishes functions as a kind of “liturgical think tank”, studying, imagining, and sharing our experiences of different expressions of liturgy.”
  • The North American Association for the Catechumenate is “an ecumenical organization which provides training and support for churches engaged in the process of baptismal conversion and making Christian disciples.”
