WORSHIP, THE ANGLICAN WAY

Thewebsite of the Reformed Episcopal Church offers an online study, based on the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, which answers a variety of questions about our traditional form of worship. While the study would seem to be of primary interest to inquirers and those new to The Anglican Way I believe that it will prove interesting and informative to all. An outline of the subject covered is listed below.

Anglican Worship: Why We Do What We Do.

• Why do we come to worship?
  

• Why is your worship so formal?
  
• Why is the pulpit at the side?
  
• Why do the ministers wear special clothing?
  
• Why do you sit, kneel, and stand in worship?
  
• Why various symbols such as candles and the cross?
  
• Why do we read prayers and repeat so much?
  
• Why do you observe the Church Calendar?
  
• Why do you sing chants, psalms, and traditional music?
  
• What is the order of the services?
