Sinopsis

From 1662 to 1966 the Church of EnglandâÇÖs sole eucharistic rite was the communion service within the Bookáof Common Prayer imposed by the Act of Uniformity of 1662. With the coming of procedures wherebyáalternative rites could be authorized, the last 60 years have seen enormous labours and debates within theáLiturgical Commission, the House of Bishops, the General Synod and its Revision Committees. Tudorálanguage has given way to contemporary forms, and these forms in turn have in turn been made inclusive.áTraditional language texts have continued alongside the contemporary ones. The rites have been brought to aánew âÇÖshapeâÇÖ, congregational participation has been vastly increased, the range of options within the rites has beenágreatly extended, and provision has been made for celebrations when children are present. The processes by which these changes came about are patiently laid out here by two Anglican liturgists whoáhave themselves lived for over 50 years within those processes. They chart the different rounds of Commissionácreativity, synodical assimilation, and experimental use, they explain theological tensions that emerged on theáway and show how they were resolved, and they give firsthand colour to it all, not only by drawing upon theáChurch of EnglandâÇÖs primary sources, but also by use of their own memoranda and memories. The complexityáof the whole story has meant that the Joint Editorial Board has, for the convenience of the readers, allocatedáboth the Studies due in 2019 to be published here as a single double-size volume
