SEATTLE, WA: Trial Prayer Book from the REC Diocese of the West
Submitted by Bishop Boyce

The Right Reverend Richard Boyce announced the release of a trial modern language Book of Common Prayer 2011 authorized for use in the Diocese of the West which has been made available to the bishops of the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC), part of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
"The prayer book is a tool and embodies our theology and common life as Christians. There has been a need among new congregations for a prayer book which uses the 'language of the people' while keeping the ancient worship of our Christian origins. This does not replace the 1928 Book of Common Prayer used by most of our congregations or the REC Prayer Book. However, for many of our parishes, this revised Book of Common Prayer will assist the starting of additional congregation groups for whom the traditional language of the 17th century is a challenge," said Bishop Boyce who resides in Seattle.
