Resolution 74
The Book of Common Prayer - Prayer Book Revision
The Conference, recognising the work of Prayer Book revision being done in
different parts of the Anglican Communion,
(a) calls attention to those features in the Books of Common Prayer which
are essential to the safeguarding of our unity: ie. the use of the
canonical Scriptures and the Creeds, Holy Baptism, Confirmation, Holy
Communion, and the Ordinal;
(b) notes that there are other features in these books which are effective
in maintaining the traditional doctrinal emphasis and ecclesiastical
culture of Anglicanism and therefore should be preserved;
(c) and urges that a chief aim of Prayer Book revision should be to further
that recovery of the worship of the primitive Church which was the aim of
the compilers of the first Prayer Books of the Church of England.
