An Explanation of the Common Service: Foreword and Introduction

I'm reading through the magnificent work An Explanation of the Common Service.  I'm going to try to break it down into 10-15 minute sections each week.  It's an extremely important and helpful book if you want to understand the worship service and the parts of the liturgy.
