The English Ritual

Description

This pocket-sized text contains forms of words for administering the sacraments and other rites of the Church. Each is printed in full for practical convenience, making this a useful resource for priests and parishioners who prefer ancient rites which pre-date the splits and divisions brought about by the Reformation. The book contains orders of service for baptism, marriage, funerals, sick visiting, home communion, penance and numerous blessing ceremonies – for buildings, objects and events. It may be used alongside “Common Worship” and “The Book of Common Prayer”, and includes an appendix of prayers for a wide range of needs and occasions.
