Synopsis

The Reformed Book of Common Prayer, Volume 1, is was designed for Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany, Ante-Communion, Communion and the Pastoral Offices, using the 1662 BCP as the structure. However, with Volume II, we added the "21 Forms of Unity" including the Westminster Standards, the Three Forms of Unity, The Thirty-Nine Articles, the Chicago Statements on Inerrancy and Hermeneutics, the Scots' Confession, the French Confession, the Second Helvetica, the Lambeth Articles, the Catechism of the Church of Geneva and some others. It's a "Reformed Book of Common Prayer." It was designed for those with Reformed backgrounds who get no Reformed Theology in Anglican and Episcopal contexts, schools or pulpits. The old Anglicans had Reformed Churchmen, but those days are gone. Expect little-to-no Reformed Theology in Anglican/Episcopal contexts. Volumes 1 and 2 were was designed for private use. For those with Reformed catechesis in their backgrounds, you will understand this. For the Reformed, we are still liturgical and Prayer Bookish. Neither affinity group may like the amendments, yet both may understand this hybrid, driven of necessity and desire. Yet, both old school Anglicans, old school Presbyterians and old school Reformed Churchmen will recognize these things. Of course, the Anabaptacostalist traditions will not understand any of this. They would rather clap, enthuse, "get all excited" and do free-for-alls. Clap-trap. However, this new RBCP is "regulated" and disciplined by the Bible. It may be the first of its kind--both Reformed and Anglican.

About this title

About the Author

The Editor holds degrees in philosophy, theology and history. He is currently working on a doctorate. Additionally, he mentors students for The North American Reformed Seminary (www.tnars.et). He is an ordained and retired Reformed Episcopal Churchman. He holds graduate degrees from Presbyterian and Episcopal Seminaries. He is comfortably retired from the military and uses this book for the Order of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany and Ante-Communion. But, it also has Reformed Confessions, unlike the 1662 BCP, lamentably and unacceptably, shorn of the Westminster Standards and other standards in the larger, Reformed and catholic communities. We added them. May God magnify Himself, His Word, and fall anew with freshness and power for this and the next generation.
