"This edition of the revised forms of services most frequently used in the Episcopal Church has been put together with the purpose of providing, at as low a cost as possible, all that the people in the pews would normally need for the public recitation of the Daily Office and the celebration of Holy Communion, including the complete Psalter. Hence it is described as a 'pew edition'. It is not the draft of a revised Book of Common Prayer; nor is it a complete collection of all the revised materials needed for the conduct of regular public worship on Sundays, other Holy Days , or weekdays. The revised services are reproduced as authorized by the General Convention of 1973, in both the more familiar 'traditional' style and the more contemporary speech of today" (p. vii). .... The purpose of this pew edition is to facilitate the kind of regular, orderly, and prayerful use of the most frequently used services, which should make it possible for all congregations that wish to take a responsible part in the process of Prayer Book revision, to do so; or at the very least, to become acquainted, through use, with what is likely to be proposed" (p. xiii). -- Preface.

"Written for grammar-school age children, this guide to the Rite II Eucharistic Service presents the full text of the Service from The Book of Common Prayer alongside commentary and cartoons that clarify the meaning of the words." -- back cover.
This book "had as its genesis in a similar commentary on the service of the Holy Eucharist written for the children of Saint Barnabas' Church, Norwich, about ten years ago by the rector, The Reverend Michael Godderz. That book was rewritten in its present form for a later generation of Saint Barnabas' Church School children, as a gift for the children on the Day of Pentecost. The current version owes much to Michael Godderz' work". -- Dedication.
