Doug and Bob chat with professor and author Drew Keane about his book How to Use the Book of Common Prayer. You might be thinking, how does this relate to me, I am not an Anglican, nor do I want to be? I would challenge you and say that my own prayer life has been greatly impacted by the BCP over the past year.  There is a richness to learning from prayer that is much older and broader than the traditions that are only a hundred years or so. Drew also, was part of the team that transposed and released the 1662 BCP.  Also amazing!!!Drew's Book: How to Use the Book of Common Prayer: A Guide to the Anglican LiturgyWe'd love to hear from you.

Today is day 248 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Corporate Worship. 248. How does the Book of Common Prayer organize corporate worship? The Prayer Book orders our daily, weekly, and seasonal prayer and worship. It also provides liturgies for significant events of life. (Leviticus 23:1–24:9; Psalm 90; John 2:1–12; 1 Corinthians 15:1–11) We will conclude today with Proper 13 found on page 618 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

What if an ancient prayer book proved the most relevant and up-to-date tool to embrace intimacy with God in completely fresh ways? As we race to work in the morning, have coffee with a friend, or fall into bed exhausted, we want to feel God's presence, to sink into his grace. Yet too often he feels aloof, absent. Our prayers feel trivial. But as Julie Lane-Gay discovered, the Book of Common Prayer is designed for just this purpose: to root Christians in the riches of God's grace. So, she and Stephanie have an intimate, vulnerable, authentic conversation today, aiming to invite YOU to enter into the world of this ancient book to draw closer to God. Julie Lane-Gay has written “The Riches of Your Grace” to share the treasures she has found in the Book of Common Prayer. It's not a history of the prayer book nor a guide (though it will certainly help readers get their bearings). Instead, using stories from her own life, Julie Lane-Gay shows what it means to live in the prayer book: to allow its prayers and patterns to shape an ordinary Christian life. Discover how the Book of Common Prayer can anchor us―our prayers, our daily lives, our hearts―in Christ. The Book of Common Prayer is mostly taken straight from Scripture – Julie explains that 86% of it is pure Scripture. It means, it is theologically sound, trustworthy, safe, and protective! The Book of Common Prayer can be a lifeline in life's storms. Julie shares how the Book of Common Prayer provided her with solace and comfort during a challenging time when her son was born prematurely. The specific prayers for women who have just given birth became a source of strength, nurturing her faith and shaping her as a Christian. It serves as a safe theological foundation, offering a healthy perspective on God's presence and grace amidst life's challenges. The Book of Common Prayer fosters community and the power of intimate spiritual connection. From weekly Compline services helping a friend heal from spiritual dryness to a neighbor hosting a Compline for the neighborhood, Julie witnessed the profound impact of communal prayer. These simple, predictable, and comforting prayers have served as a space for honesty, debriefing, and spiritual rejuvenation, drawing in new attendees and providing a space for the Holy Spirit to work. Could the Book of Common Prayer become a tool to share the gospel in our generation? Julie and I discuss this tantalizing prospect. The prayer book isn't just a personal tool for spiritual growth but also a powerful means for evangelization. Julie's book, "The Riches of Your Grace," provides practical ideas for using the prayer book at home, demonstrating its potential to nurture faith, bring comfort, and draw in those who have never experienced the Church.

Doug Stuart sits down with liturgy scholar Drew Keane to delve into the ancient Christian practice of scripted worship through the lens of the Book of Common Prayer. As a co-editor of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer international edition and coauthor of How to Use the Book of Common Prayer, Keane brings a wealth of knowledge and a personal passion to the discussion.First they discuss liturgy and its role in the Church, examining the conservative nature of language in Christian liturgy, the theological depth found within traditional phrasing, and the transformative power of structured prayer. Keane shares his fascinating journey with the Book of Common Prayer, from his high school days to his extensive doctoral research, revealing the significance of this historical text in guiding public worship and personal devotions.Keane also sheds light on the historical context of the prayer book, dating back to the16th century, and how the 1552 edition brought new demands on laity participation, marked by a call to prayer via church bells.Listen in as Keane explains how the Book of Common Prayer is designed to help individuals humble themselves before God, engage with scripture, and pray expansively, following the scriptural mandates to pray even for one's enemies. We discuss the practical aspects of using the Book of Common Prayer for morning and evening prayer, enabling believers to read through the scriptures annually and expand their spiritual practices.Keane closes with heartfelt encouragement for listeners to discover the benefits of this ancient practice for themselves.Dive into the enduring legacy of the Book of Common Prayer and how it continues to shape faithful lives today. For those interested in exploring this topic further, How to Use the Book of Common Prayer is available through various retailers, including IVP's website and Amazon, and will be coming soon to Logos Bible software.

“From the 5th chapter of the Gospel according to St. John and the 6th verse, we hear Jesus pose a life changing question to a man, ‘…would you be made whole.' This story is one of my favorites,” Bishop Wright said. This story is about a wholeness and healing made of the coming together of word and deed.“And here he comes, the poet laureate of Nazareth, always the poser of poignant questions. And this morning he lobbed a doozy into our laps. It's a direct question. All cake, no icing. ‘Would you be made well.'  What a caring question. It seeks to activate agency and commission capacity. I like that question for this man. I like this question for us individually and for our congregations and ministries. I like this question for us as the Episcopal Church in Middle and North Georgia. ‘Would you be made whole?' Read The General Thanksgiving slowly and you will get a glimpse of wholeness from these familiar words, ‘…and we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives….”An excerpt from Bishop Wright's Sermon given at The 117th Annual Council of The Episcopal Diocese of AtlantaSupport the show

Samuel Bray and Drew Keane are the co-editors of the recent "new" edition of the classic English Book of Common Prayer.

Samuel L. Pray is the John N. Matthews Professor of Law at University of Notre Dame Law School and a McDonald Distinguished Fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. He is a prolific author in both legal studies and theology. Drew Nathaniel Keane teaches English at Georgia Southern University and holds a PhD in English from University of St. Andrews.

We are currently in the midst of a cult explosion. Whether it be dianetics which is the modern science of mental health, false god worship, reincarnation, astrology, holistic healing, or any of a hundred other consciousness-raising techniques, the modern age is on a search for some mystical and divine unity. The time is ripe for a world religion.And the “Man of Lawlessness” also known as the “Antichrist” is about to appear on the scene of earth with all false signs and wonders and lying persuasions that will captivate the fallen world that is being prepared to embrace him even now.God's Watchmen on the Wall are sounding the alarm for the Church to awaken from her slumber and to be the salt and light she has been called to be. For time is truly running out and those whose names have not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be left behind when Jesus, the True and Only Savior, comes for His own. And then Tribulation which the world has never known or will ever know again shall befall this sin-riddled world. Today is the Day of Salvation - Let those who have ears to hear – Hear!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Zac Hicks joins James and Andrew today to discuss his latest book Worship by Faith Alone: Thomas Cranmer, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Reformation of Liturgy- a book that demonstrates that the Reformational teaching of ‘faith alone' (or Sola Fide) was the driving force for Thomas Cranmer in his liturgical revision and in his composition of the Book of Common Prayer.

Instead of telling you a story about what we can gather from historical documents, I am just going to actually read you a historical document. If that's not your jam, give it a break and come back for the next regular episode on the African-American bride.In 1549, Thomas Cranmer, archbishop of Canterbury, authorized the first Book of Common Prayer for use in the fairly recently formed Church of England. It included a section called “The Forme of Solemnizacion of Matrimonie.” Cranmer is generally given credit for having written it. He certainly directed that it should be written. The Book of Common Prayer was subsequently revised several times, but I have compared multiple versions and the differences to this section are pretty minimal. The Church of England still likes the 1662 version today, and yes, the bride still promises to obey her husband in that version. The Anglican church in North America revised as recently as 2019, and no, the bride does not promise to obey in that version. But overall, the sentiment and much of the language remain the same. Besides the slight revisions, there were times when the Book of Common Prayer was in favor and also times when it was out. The Catholic Mary I didn't use it, of course, because it wasn't Catholic. Ironically, the Puritans under Oliver Cromwell also didn't use it because it had too much Catholic influence. Sometimes you just can't win.Except that it did win, because overall it was in favor more often than it was out. So as I read this, you can imagine many an English bride on her wedding day: Anne Hathaway who married William Shakespeare in 1582. Pocahontas (not English) who married John Rolfe (yes, English) in 1614. Martha Custis, who was still an English subject when she married George Washington in 1759. Queen Victoria, who married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1840. Poet Elizabeth Barrett who married poet Robert Browning in 1846. I could go on with more and more brides up to and including Kate Middleton who married Prince William in 2011. The following service would have been familiar to all of them, with a few slight variations from time to time. Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.Support the show on my Patreon page for bonus episodes, polls, and a general feeling of self-satisfaction.Follow me on Twitter as @her_half.
