Guidelines for Services of the Word

Guidelines for Services of the Word are now on the A Prayer Book for North America website. From the introduction:

In Service of the Word, First Order, and Service of the Word, Second Order, A Prayer Book for North America provides two models for a Service of the Word, one based upon the pattern of The Holy Communion, Second Order, and the other on that of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer in The Book of Common Prayer. With the following guidelines A Prayer Book for North America also makes provision for the development of local patterns of worship. It recognizes that the local church is often in a better position than a denomination and its judicatories to determine the pattern of worship that will best serve the mission of the Church in its particular community.
