Anglican Book of Common Prayer - Anglican BCP Church of Nigeria's Administration of the Sacraments & Other Rites
The Anglican Communion was traditionally bound together among other things
by the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England. The 1662 edition
had been a source of inspiration and a prototype of the Prayer Books of the
daughter Churches throughout the Anglican world. With passage of time, the
Anglican Communion honoured the desire and freedom of each Province to
develop a liturgy that was appropriate to their cultural context, subject
however, to retaining essential universal Anglican norms of worship and
traditional liturgical requirements.
In 1842 when the Church Missionary Society re-introduced Christianity to
Nigeria, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer was brought to form the basis of
Christian worship among the new converts. However, since 1979 when the
Church became an autonomous Province, it became necessary to have a
liturgy that will express its own cultural milieu. The 1983 edition of the
Book of Common Prayer was a step in that direction; for the saying is true
that it is through Liturgy that we express what we believe. The Anglican Liturgy
is firmly rooted in the Scriptures and indeed our Liturgy is a dramatization of
the Scriptures. We have maintained this foundation and clear expression of
the Word of God in worship.
After many years of usage of the present Book of Common Prayer, the need
is now felt to review it, taking cognizance of a number of developments and
to fill observed gaps. These include elimination of typographical errors and
misconceived nuances.
The rubrics are now clearer and more specific. Some new provisions have
been made such as the Mid-day Prayer, Consecration of Chrism and the
Dedication of a New Home. Materials that were not in regular use have been
removed to reduce the volume of the Book. Sentences for morning and
evening prayer, the canticles and hymns are now properly placed. Passion
Season Services have been streamlined. And so are the Baptismal and
Confirmation Services. From the foregoing, it is clear that we have made
profound changes aimed at bringing about a Liturgy that will address the
spiritual needs of our people.
It is also expected that these changes will move all worshipers to participate
more actively in the Services.
