- Notes
- "Authorized by the Thirtieth Session of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada, 1983. Prepared by the Doctrine and Worship Committee of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada." -- verso of t.-p.
- "On 29 January 1971, the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada resolved to direct the National Executive Council, 'to initiate a process of revision of Church Services without delay, which will produce alternatives to services now offered by the 1959 Canadian "Book of Common Prayer"; and which will provide guidelines for their use throughout the Anglican Church of Canada.' The Synod also resolved, 'that in future revisions of our Common Prayer Book, more emphasis be given to permissive forms and less to mandatory forms of public worship, in order that in the use of one common book, we may still achieve that flexibility and variety we deem desirable. And that in the meantime General Synod be asked to give guidance to diocesan authorities in relaxing the rigid conformist notes still written into our Common Prayer Book'. By these and other resolutions the General Synod channelled and directed a movement for liturgical change which already existed, and inaugurated a period of experiment, evaluation, and change." -- Intro., p. 7.
