One of the things that attracted me to Anglo-Catholicism was the use of meditative prayers (like the Dominican Rosary or the Jesus Prayer said on Anglican Prayer Beads). I've grown to love them both, but I'm curious about what types of prayer beads/Rosary most people on this subreddit use.
Before 1959 the Prayer for the Jews in the Tridentine Mass translated to
>Let us pray also for the faithless Jews: that Almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord.
>Almighty and eternal God, who dost not exclude from thy mercy even Jewish faithlessness: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
In 1959 it was changed and it became
>Let us pray also for the Jews: that almighty God may remove the veil from their hearts; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. Let us pray.
>Almighty and eternal God, who dost also not exclude from thy mercy the Jews: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people; that acknowledging the light of thy Truth, which is Christ, they may be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
In the Novus Ordo it is
>Let us pray for the Jewish people, the first to hear the word of God, that they may continue to grow in the love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant.
>Almighty and eternal God, long ago you gave your promise to Abraham and his posterity. Listen to your Church as we pray that the people you first made your own may arrive at the fullness of redemption. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pope Benedict XVI when authorising more common use of the Tridentine Mass changed the prayer in the TLM to
>Let us also pray for the Jews: That our God and Lord may illuminate their hearts, that they acknowledge Jesus Christ is the Savior of all men
>Almighty and eternal God, who want that all men be saved and come to the recognition of the truth, propitiously grant that even as the fullness of the peoples enters Thy Church, all Israel be saved. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Does the English Missal use a derivative of the original prayer or has it been changed as in the Roman Rite?
Non-Lutheran here, I'm curious because there are some articles on the internet that says the Anglican Book of Common Prayer has influenced various Lutheran liturgical practices despite of it having a reformed/calvinistic leaning.
The Moravian Church also uses the 39 Articles as one of their confession so I was wondering if is it okay for a contemporary evangelical church to use it as their statement of faith?
Edit: What I mean by "contemporary evangelical church" is a church that is part of the growing "convergence movement" wherein they blend the charismatic-type of worship and liturgies from the Book of Common Prayer or other liturgical sources.
Does anyone know of any Evangelical Anglican Churches that uses the BCP Communion liturgy with northend celebration? Even better if done in choir dress + tippet.
I was recently reading an article in Church Times about a church reordering in Cheltenham, and I noticed something that I've often seen in photos of Anglican churches: a lack of pews. The article mentions a list of things changed in the renovation, and the removal of pews is first on the list:
>We have taken out all the pews, put in underfloor heating, a new limestone floor, two-storey pods in the side aisles containing servery, office, and meeting rooms, glassed in our memorial chapel, added four lavatories, opened up the west end as our new entrance, doubled the length of the wheelchair ramp, landscaped a new plaza, and renewed lighting and audio-visuals.
I understand that pews came into churches toward the late Middle Ages, so they're by no means original. But what's the reason to remove them if they're already there now? Is it so the sanctuary can be rearranged to accommodate other types of activities and events? The Episcopal churches here in the US generally do have pews, so I haven't really seen firsthand how one might best use a pew-less church space. Anyway, just something I'm curious about, thanks for any insight you can provide!
Traditionally done in the main stream Roman-Rite uses, that is.
The term itself refers to "an officially approved form of liturgy used by former members of the Anglican Communion who joined the Catholic Church while wishing to maintain "aspects of the Anglican patrimony that are of particular value".
Fellow Catholics, have you attended and/or watched a service from an Anglican use church and how has it deepened your faith?
What are some live-streams that I could look into in the future for Sunday services and/or evensong that I can watch alongside Masses of the RCC?
One aspect of Anglicanism that I love is the use of choral music during the service similar to the music that is used in cathedrals such as The Cathedral of St. John The Baptist in Charleston,SC.
What is your stance on the Liturgy of Anglican use Catholic masses. From what I have observed it is very similar to the Tridentine mass only without Gregorian chant and the Latin. In that regard it is a lot more Catholic than a lot of the Novus Ordo masses that I grew up with.
What is your stance on this form of Liturgy?
How common is it to use the Anglican Rosary? Is it considered unusual or at all frowned upon?
I'm only been in the Episcopal Church for less than a year, and I've been doing a lot of research into high church theologies and traditions (Anglican, Orthodox, Catholic). Do Anglicans use icons like the Catholics and Orthodox do? I imagine this may be another "some do, some don't" question, but I'm interested to read what other Anglicans think. I myself have been hoping to get an icon or two to make a little prayer corner in my room (like many in the Orthodox Church do).
Or am I just not understanding the situation. Thanks.
Growing up Roman Catholic in the USA, I typically used the New American Bible. Recently I bought the New International Version Bible for my android phone.
Are either acceptable? What translation does the Anglican Communion-especially the Church of England-use?
