Sue Careless on Discovering the Book of Common Prayer

On Tuesday, October 26, at 7 pm, Sue Careless will visit St George’s Round Church, Halifax, to talk about her new book, Discovering the Book of Common Prayer: A Hands-On Approach, Volume III.

The following is a description of the series from the St Peter’s Publications website, where the books can be purchased:

This wonderful three-volume set of books was a project of The Prayer Book Society of Canada. … The author is Sue Careless, a freelance journalist and photographer whose work has appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post, and the Toronto Star. The recipient of seven church press awards, she is news editor of the Anglican Planet and has contributed to the Anglican Journal, Christian Week, and Faith Today.

The Prayer Book Society of Canada commissioned Sue Careless to write this introduction to the BCP for those unfamiliar with it, whether long-time or new Anglicans, young or old. The first book of the three-volume series, on ‘Daily Prayer’, was published in 2003. It includes a general introduction to the Prayer Book and contains detailed information about the daily offices of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer … and much more. The second volume was published in 2006, with the sub-title ‘Our Life in the Church.’ It includes chapters about Baptism, the Catechism and Confirmation, and especially a great deal of information about the Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) as found in the Book of Common Prayer. Volume Three was published in 2009, and has the sub-title ‘Special Occasions’. Among other topics, it deals with such special services as Holy Matrimony, the Ministry to the Sick, the Burial of the Dead, and Ordination.”

The Anglican Planet’s review of Discovering the Book of Common Prayer, Vol. 3 is posted here.
