[Laurel Leader] May 13, 2005--The Rev. Elizabeth Kaeton of Chatham, N.J., attributes the conflicts in the global church to prayer book differences.
When the United States church adopted the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, it sent its copies of the superseded 1928 Book of Common Prayer to the Third World, she said.
"Here's the truth of it straightaway: we do not worship the same images of God."
The shifts are "subtle," she said, but the old prayer book depicts a God who is distant, "up there" and in control from afar. In the new prayer book, she said, the images of God "are closer, more incarnate, more with us."
This article is outrageous!!
