Liturgy as Evangelist

Liturgy as Evangelist:
​the Book of Common Prayer and the Gospel

Lecture presented at Hillsdale College on February 23, 2021
as part of a series on the "Sunday Liturgy" hosted by Catholic Society

In this lecture, Fr. Adam looks at the Holy Communion service in the Book of Common Prayer (1662 edition of the Church of England) to explore how the liturgy is specifically designed to take worshippers through the subjective experience of encountering the gospel. The liturgy encompasses the whole sweep of salvation from the first awareness of sin to the reception of God's utterly free grace to repair it offered in the Lord's Supper.

Handout: Orders Compared, and the 1662 Anaphora
