The King’s Prayer Book

The King’s Prayer Book, formally known as the "Book of Common Prayer," was compiled in the 16th century during the English Reformation. It serves as a collection of prayers, liturgical services, and guidelines for worship in the Anglican Church. Commissioned by King Edward VI, it aimed to unify the Church under a standardized form of worship in English, replacing Latin texts. The book has undergone revisions but remains central to Anglican liturgy, reflecting theological concepts and practices that emphasize both communal and individual prayer, as well as the importance of scripture in the Christian faith.
