Resources for Prayer Book Catholics

Altar_C_O_Skilbeck.jpg

The purpose for this site is an interlinked curation of resources, providing a centralized reference point for an English Catholic (Caroline, Non-Juror, Tractarian) aesthetic and prayer book sensibility, towards a renewed English Use.[1] It began in 2023 as a research pool for a group within the Anglican tradition.

This site is intended for a small group of collaborators to reference in asynchronous, remote research. It is not advertised or promoted, nor is it intentionally indexed by engines, and articles saved from other sites should be linked to directly rather than this page.

Unsorted article clippings or archived copies of articles/pages/threads are under directory ./WebArticles All pages with tag #clippings are archived copies.

AGAIN NOTE: If you have stumbled upon this site, this site is not intended to be a public-facing site, but password protection is not yet implemented in the CMS. Measures have been taken through meta tags to not be indexed by search engines. Further, Canonical URL meta tags are included in order to redirect any results back to the source material which should be read and supported. Please consider visiting/subscribing/supporting the source of each article or resource on their respective sites.

There are original edited pieces here, edited for the convenience of access, such as the below:

  1. “First we must use the services of the Prayer Book, obeying its rubrics. Among the latter is the Ornaments Rubric, which refers us to the church arrangements and ceremonial adjuncts of the older tradition, as they were used either on the eve of the introduction of the First Prayer Book or immediately after it had been introduced. Then we must find out what that tradition was, and follow it, except where it is inconsistent with the later and living authority of the Prayer Book. For this tradition, the Sarum books are the principal, though not the only source. That is the English Use.” – Francis C Eeles, “Prayer Book Revision and Christian Reunion” ↩︎
