"`The Book of Common Prayer runs like a golden thread through the history of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. [This book] is the first comprehensive guide to the original `Book of Common Prayer and its numerous descendants throughout the world. It shows how a seminal text for Christian worship and devotion has inspired a varied family of religious resources that have had an influence far beyond their use in the churches of a single tradition. The Guide is unique: In it experts from every part of the world and every part of Anglicanism, as well as from the Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Methodist, and Unitarian traditions, provide an unparalleled examination of `The Book of Common Prayer'. .... this volume describes how Anglican churches at all points of the compass have developed their own Prayer Books and adapted the classic Anglican liturgies to their diverse local cultures. In the dozens of editions now in use throughout the world, the same central texts -- Daily Prayers, the Eucharist, Marriage and Funerals, and many others -- resemble each other. and yet differ from each other in interesting ways. A brief look at the future of `electronic Prayer Books' offers a glimpse at how this story of development and adaptation may continue in the Information Age". -- inside front dust jacket.

Published by The Chicago Consultation, "a group of Episcopal and Anglican bishops, clergy and lay people, [that] supports the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Christians in the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion. We believe that our baptismal covenant requires this". -- p. [ii].

"In recent years, we Episcopalians have too often agonized over a choice that is painful, regrettable, and most of all, false. We have been wrongly tempted to believe that we must choose between relationships in the worldwide Anglican Communion and full inclusion of all of our baptized brothers and sisters, including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). In late 2007, the Chicago Consultation, an international group of Anglican bishops, theologians, and other church leaders who are committed to the full inclusion of LGBT people in the Episcopal Church, came together to consider how we might help the church to move past this false choice. As we have studied and prayed together, our work has been grounded in the twin beliefs that the Anglican Communion is, at its best, a manifestation of the body of Christ in which the Holy Spirit blesses members from different cultures and contexts with various gifts and charisms; and that chief among the gifts of the Episcopal Church is our rich and robust theology of baptism and our baptismal covenant. .... As they delivered these papers at the February [2009] meeting of the Chicago Consultation, each of these authors reminded us that we are shaped by our baptism, which marks us as Christ's own forever and calls us into lifelong active response to God's grace. As a community of faith, grafted into Christ by baptism, we share in Christ's work of reconciliation in the world. The Chicago Consultation believes that Christ's work of reconciliation now calls the Episcopal Church to move forward with the full inclusion of LGBT people in the life and ministry of the church and to continue to cultivate our relationships with our sisters and brothers who are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We believe that now is the time to say together, 'We will, with God's help'." -- Intro.
