It might be thought the Church 'of our sires' is a fading relic amidst a modernity of instant gratification, but as the author shows here, its ceremonies and prayers are vibrant, life-giving, and as necessary in today's world as any period throughout history. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Book of Common Prayer and how its collects, readings, and sacraments engage with Old Testament narratives and New Testament theology to form a tapestry of man's relationship with God. The author's erudition is prodigious, providing ample commentary and background on the many aspects of traditional Anglican worship, and he provides a fascinating account of the ritual controversies within the Church of England that continue to roil Anglicanism today. Among the many controversies are whether and to what extent should the church and its services be modernised, the role of incense, the wearing of vestments, and the use of certain gestures. Through it all, the author argues forcefully for the preservation of the rich heritage of Anglican liturgy, which, he believes, offers a profound and timeless way of connecting with the divine.
