Liturgy

One of the glories of the Church of England is its worship. The word 'liturgy' describes the patterns, forms and words through which public worship is conducted.

There are currently two collections of services authorized for use in the Church of England: The Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England.

The links provided on the right hand side give access to the texts and further information.

For guidance and resources on the use of liturgy in worship, visit the Liturgical Commission's website www.transformingworship.org.uk
