Book of Common Prayer

The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is the official collection of liturgies, prayers, and services used in the Anglican Communion and churches in the Anglican tradition. First published in 1549 during the reign of Edward VI of England, it was largely the work of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, who sought to provide a unified, English-language liturgy for the Church of England following the Reformation.

Origins

Before the Reformation, English Christians worshiped according to the Latin rites of the medieval Church—primarily the Sarum Use, but also other regional variants
