Some Principles Of Liturgical Reform

""Some Principles of Liturgical Reform"" is a book written by Walter Howard Frere in 1911. Frere was a prominent member of the Anglican Church and a leading figure in the liturgical movement. This book is a contribution towards the revision of the Book of Common Prayer, which was the official prayer book of the Church of England at the time. Frere argues that the liturgy, or the order of worship, should be reformed in order to better reflect the needs of the modern world. He suggests that the language used in the Book of Common Prayer is outdated and difficult to understand, and that the structure of the liturgy should be simplified and made more accessible to the average worshipper. Frere also advocates for greater use of music and ritual in the liturgy, as he believes that these elements can help to create a more meaningful and uplifting worship experience. He argues that the liturgy should be seen as a living and evolving tradition, rather than a static set of rules and practices. Overall, ""Some Principles of Liturgical Reform"" is an important work in the history of the Anglican Church and the broader liturgical movement. It offers a thoughtful and insightful critique of the Book of Common Prayer and proposes practical solutions for making the liturgy more relevant and engaging for contemporary worshippers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
