Talk:Book of Common Prayer (1928, England)

Name Change

Among Anglicans (etc.) in the United States of America, "the Book of Common Prayer (1928)" is nearly universally understood to refer to the Book of Common Prayer as revised and approved in 1928 and used in the Episcopal Church (United States) from 1928-1979, is still used among some TEC parishes, is approved for use in the Anglican Church of North America, and is still used by multiple jurisdictions of the Continuing Anglican movement, such as the Anglican Church in America and Anglican Catholic Church. It also continues to be used by many Christians for personal devotions, and is easily found for low prices in America for the sheer number that were printed for Episcopalian congregations in the mid-20th century.

Meanwhile, the proposed 1928 BCP in the Church of England failed to be approved and was never widespread in its use. It certainly was and remains highly influential on other liturgical reforms among Anglican churches, and it is a culturally and historically important document, but I do not think that this article should be titled simply "Book of Common Prayer (1928)" when American Christians would almost certainly be more familiar with the American prayer book which goes by the same colloquial name.

I'm open to ideas as to what this article should be titled. My suggestion would be, as the spine of my copy says, "The Book of Common Prayer as Proposed in 1928", but this might be unwieldy. "Book of Common Prayer (1928) (Church of England)" has an ugly double parentheses, but may also work. Garnet Moss (talk) 23:01, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

This page has been renamed to the current title of the book as it appears in print editions published by Canterbury Press Norwich and sold by Church House Bookshop, which is The Book of Common Prayer as Proposed in 1928. A new page has been created for Book of Common Prayer (1928) which is the American prayer book. --TrulyShruti ^{talk • sign} 20:06, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Comment: The article Book of Common Prayer (1928, England) has been expanded well beyond the five-fold requirement. However, I intend to do some more expansion with it. Apologies for any instability that causes. Both QPQs to come.
