What is the BCP: Book of Common Prayer?

from And Also With You · host And Also With You

And Also with You is hosted by two young women Episcopal priests, moms, and deconstructing Christians, The Rev. Laura Di Panfilo and The Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail. Neither one of us grew up Episcopalian and yet both of us have found a home in this faith ... and we know how disorienting it can be for people who are new to liturgical Christianity or who have never known there was another, faith-full way to follow Christ.

What this episode covers

We are forever dropping references to "The BCP" - but, uh, what is that? It is the Book of Common Prayer, a collection of English liturgies first translated from seven(plus) volumes of Latin Catholic liturgy and collected into one volume in 1549 in England. Since then, the BCP has undergone some changes - but in many ways, it remains the same prayer book 500 years later. And we, two young women priests, LOVE it and use it all the time. Why? Tune in to find out why this ancient work of liturgical genius still slaps.
