A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A Book of Offices: Services for Occasions Not Provided for in the Book of Common Prayer

At the General Convention in Richmond, in 1907, a Committee of the House of Bishops was appointed to consider the preparation of a Book of Offices for occasions not provided for in the Book of Common Prayer. The Bishops of Texas, Kansas, Newark, Springfield, and Fond du Lac constituted the Committee.

This Committee found the wish for such a Book so general that at Cincinnati in 1910 they presented a Book which was received by the Bishops and allowed to be distributed in the House.

Subsequently the Bishops retained the copies distributed and were asked to send further suggestions to the Committee, which was continued, to report in 1913.

The second Report of the Committee, presented in New York in 1913, was again referred back for further consideration.

At the General Convention at St. Louis, in 1916, a number of corrections and changes were presented by the Committee and the following Resolution was passed:

"Resolved, That the Book of Offices for Occasions not Provided for in the Book of Common Prayer be published after the changes submitted with this Report have been made, and is hereby set forth for use where the Bishop of the Diocese may authorize it."

After all due care and consideration the Book of Offices for Occasions not Provided for in the Book of Common Prayer is now authorized for use in the Church, subject to the discretion of each diocesan Bishop.
