This course presents the Book of Common Prayer as the practical articulation of faith and discipline for Anglicans -- reformed but grounded in historic catholic continuity. We will study the history of the book and its principal liturgies, including, the Daily Offices, Holy Communion, Baptism, Confirmation, Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders. We will also survey the Benedictine Hours. This course will offer a conversational walk through the classical Anglican liturgy, its robust theology, and its continued relevance to Christians today.
Intended as enrichment to personal devotion and participation in church practices, this course will require reading outside of class, but the overall workload will be light, with the majority of assignments reserved for responding to in-class discussion.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.
