Rowan Williams and BCP 1662

Adelphoi,

In Canterbury this weekend, the new Archbishop conducted a Confirmation service (for King's School) in Canterbury Cathedral ACCORDING TO THE BCP 1662. It was his first one as Archbishop, and is therefore significant! He has shown by a dramatic gesture that the BCP is the Formulary of the Church and that Common Worship is an alternative to it but under its doctrinal authority!

Can we imagine the Presiding Bishop of the ECUSA using the 1789 or 1892 or 1928 editions of the same classic BCP?

we press on

The Rev'd Dr. Peter Toon
