- "'The Book of Common Prayer' [is] more often called simply the 'Prayer Book'. This book is one of the most distinctive things about the Episcopal Church. It can also be among the most daunting for newcomers. The Prayer Book frames public worship in the Episcopal Church. Within that frame, much variety and experimentation may be found, but public worship rarely ventures outside that frame. The book is an anthology of prayers, hymns, biblical passages, and other texts arranged for public worship. It is useful for private devotion as well, but its purpose is to guide public, corporate worship (hence the word 'common' in its title)" (p. 2).
- Contents: The Heart of the Prayer Book -- The Calendar -- The Daily Office -- Seasonal Texts -- Pastoral Offices -- Episcopal Services -- The Rest of the Prayer Book -- Does the Prayer Book Have a Future ? -- Where to Find It.
