What is the Prayer Book? |

What exactly is a prayer book? Why do Anglicans have something called the Book of Common Prayer? Father Jeremiah gives a brief history of the Book of Common Prayer and explains a core reason for its use in Anglican Churches.

Praying for your conversion to Catholicism where Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist; His church and His most holy sacrement of the altar. 🙏🕊♥️💒

Excellent explanation. Where can I find a copy of the 2019 in Canada? The shipping from the US is a deal breaker. Thanks.

I do not know of where you might find one for purchase in Canada. Amazon.com does have an ebook version (at least here in the states), but I don't know how the navigation works. You can get a free pdf of it at bcp2019.anglicanchurch.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/BCP-2019-MASTER-5th-PRINTING-05022022-3.pdf. The only place that I know that sells copies of it is Anglican Publishing House. Since the 2019 is for the ACNA which is in both the US and Canada, they might have shipping from a location in Canada so as to reduce the cost of moving it from a US location to you in Canada. Outside of that, seeing if there is a ACNA congregation near you. They might be able to give you one or connect you to a way for ordering it within Canada. It would most likely be part of the Anglican Network in Canada (www.anglicannetwork.ca/). Thank you for you encouragement. I hope that they links that I included come through in this comment. If they don't, you can check one of our Morning Prayer livestreams to find a link for the 2019 Prayer Book pdf that you can download (I list it in every one). Blessings to you!!
