Rite I

Rite I is one of the traditional sets of prayers and liturgical language used in Anglican or Episcopal church services, especially during formal or ceremonial occasions. It employs more traditional, poetic language and a reverent tone in prayers and liturgy. Typically used in the Holy Eucharist or worship, Rite I emphasizes solemnity and historical continuity, often preferred by those who appreciate a classical style of worship. It’s different from Rite II, which uses more contemporary language. Overall, Rite I helps foster a deep sense of tradition, reverence, and connection to the church’s historic roots.
