"We may be confident that liturgical worship is the best of all.
There is some loss in the use of printed words; but there is a greater gain. We have in them the accumulated wisdom and beauty of the Christian Church, the garnered excellence of the saints. We are by them released from the accidents of time and place. Above all we are preserved against the worst dangers of selfishness: in the common prayer we join together in a great fellowship that is as wide as the world; and we are guided, not by the limited notions of our own priest, nor by the narrow impulses of our own desires, but by the mighty voice that rises from the general heart of Christendom." — Percy Dearmer, Everyman’s History of the PrayerBook, 1912it still feeds people with a secure spirituality;
and in these and other Provinces it often remains as a standard of doctrine." — from The Lambeth Conference, 1988; Mission and Ministry, 184so scriptural that it is full of scripture from one end to the other,
and built altogether upon it; so catholic that nothing therein is found contrary to the decrees and practice of the apostolic, nay the universal Church, men’s private fancies only being excluded; so comprehensive that every man finds his wants represented and his petitions anticipated;...let a man be as devout as he will, he will find his devotion cannot soar to a higher pitch, if it be sober, rational and Christian; and withal so elevated that it leads us above the narrow views and petty prejudices of party into the clam and holy atmosphere of heaven." — Bishop John Medleynot only pure, but strong and elegant in the highest degree.”
— John Wesley, 1784“Through radical changes in polity, through revolutionary movements in Church and in society in general, through frequent “theological shifts” of one sort or another, the relative stability of the Prayer Book
tradition has provided a focus of unity, in which Anglicans
could recognize their self-identity. Everything distinctively Anglican is embraced by, fostered by, and preserved by that tradition, so that the Prayer Book constitutes, in fact, the fullest expression of the consensus fidelium for Anglicans.” — Robert CrouseCatechesis Project
