Excerpt from The Book of Common Prayer: The Three Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of Its Publication in English As it is with many other excellent things which we have and use, so it is with the Prayer Book: for the very that we use it and get good from it all the time, we do not always think how much it is worth to us. This anniversary year will be a good time for us to study our Prayer Book and to study about it; to study it, by at least reading it carefully through, rubrics and all; and to study about it, by learning all we m of its history and meaning. We shall find that it is one of the most interesting of all books, as well as one that is full of instrufiion and help.
