- Notes
- "I was disheartened and disgusted, to say the least, to see the letters in the November [2016] issue (p. 5) defending the prayer for the conversion of the Jews in the 'Book of Common Prayer' (BCP)". "The former third collect for Good Friday for the conversion of the Jews ... was declared inappropriate for use in public liturgy in the mid-1960s by the House of Bishops , and formally de-authorized by the General Synod and omitted from further printings of the 'Book of Common Prayer' in 1989". "Removing that prayer from our official liturgical text is not political correctness, but an alignment of our prayer book with our theology and the correction of a historic wrong of monumental proportions".
