Completely new to me. Thanks!

What I am saying about ease-of-use is this: One would have to an ordo booklet and/or a projector to get people into this liturgy. It's a LOT of bookmarking and flipping pages if you are using the book.

A service that will be experienced as much more #penitential by I take it almost everyone. Does anyone have experience with this liturgical workhorse of the ages? Enough to have advice, resources, etc.?

What challenges did I run into? 1st, organization of the material (and the rubrics) convince me that this wasn't the default assumption for Sunday worship when Cranmer & Co put it together. Surely it was only the force of tradition that kept it in this shape when thee 1662 was authorized. If I be

I wonder if it is more or less alterations than our American 1928.

Thank you for posting these daily. What is the Canadian BCP's psalter? Is it its own revision of Coverdale, or identical with any other revision?
