1928 BCP question

[BrianH]

I was driving and saw a little Anglican church that uses the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. They have a service right when I teach Sunday School so the odds of me ever visiting are pretty slim. Would the minister chant, sing, or say the liturgy?
Is there just one…liturgy in it for Sunday services or several to pick from?
Sorry if I do not use the right terms in asking my questions no offence

Chant, sing or say? As far as I know, it could be any of those, or a combination. If I remember correctly, the 1928 BCP has two forms for most things. I really like the language used in the 1928 BCP, but my parish uses the 1979 version. I’m sure the '28 is online somewhere, if you’ll do a google search for it.

The 1928 Book has only one form of the liturgy, which will vary in the Propers, depending on the liturgical canon. It is the 1979 book that has two forms of the liturgy, Rite I and Rite II; Rite I resembles the 1928 BCP.

However, using the 1928 BCP, the priest may chant, or sing, portions of the liturgy, which, in addition may be include portions taken from the Anglican Missal. That is, it may be a Sung High Mass, or a plain Prayer Book Mass, and may be supplemented.

In other words, you never can tell for sure.

And then, it might simply be a Morning Prayer parish.

With Anglicans, generically, you never can tell about most anything.
