Book excerpt: 'The Book of Common Prayer' is a vital religious text that has been used by the Church of England for centuries. The Episcopal Church in Scotland adopted its own version in 1912, featuring the Scottish Communion Office and other minor additions and deviations from the English version. This edition replaced earlier Scottish parishes' use of the English version. The text includes the Psalms of David, prayers for the administration of the sacraments and other rites, and guidance on the making, ordaining, and consecration of bishops, priests, and deacons. This important historical document is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of liturgy in religious practice.
