I’ve always thought that maybe Toon’s a bit of a hardliner. I absolutely love the 1928, but I don’t go out of my way to call the newer book a New Age Book of Apostasy or anything like that. Toon takes the 1979 personally, methinks. Having said that, he does a lot of good things; just don’t say the word “1979” around him lest you hear, as it were, the noise of thunder.I have to admit I’ve never heard of Toon. I just read a few bios on him on the internet here. He sounds like a guy who’d be right up GKC’s alley! Anglo-Catholic, 1928 prayer book, old school, probably was a Lewis fan, too!

Let me also add that my home parish uses Rite I and would use 1928 if they could. They encourage every member to buy one and be familiar with it, on the grounds that it is far more representative of traditional Anglican theology and language than, say, 1979 Rite II prayer C.
Sadly, the 1928ers and Rite I-ers are being swept into the ash heap of history. But the prayers and theology are still better, regardless. Toon’s definitely right on that.

More low church, actually. But solid.I have to admit I’ve never heard of Toon. I just read a few bios on him on the internet here. He sounds like a guy who’d be right up GKC’s alley! Anglo-Catholic, 1928 prayer book, old school, probably was a Lewis fan, too!

A lot of Anglican churches use various versions of the BCP. According to the canons of the Australian Anglican church, the BCP still has normative status as a liturgical text. Even so, as there is no centralised authority in the Anglican communion that determines exactly what liturgical text is to be used and how it is used throughout the communion, individual national churches have a lot of flexibility in how the liturgy is designed. Therefore there is a wide variety of Anglican liturgies, and their nature will vary from ‘evangelical’ services resembling those of other Protestant churches, to more sacramental and traditional services not too different from a Catholic mass.

I would add, if it were my choice, Archbishop Alberto Ramento, IFI, who is worth googling if you’ve never heard of him.

I’ll say this again, and I’ve never received what I consider a satisfactory answer, what is the big deal difference between the 38 and the 79 prayer books? I have looked online at the 28 and my 79 here on my desk and I fail to see the significant differences, especially ones that are supposedly so profound as to supposedly liberalize and completely act as a game-changer that opened the floodgates of left wing insanity? They seem close enough and the 79 seems great to me? I must be a dullard or an iconoclastic Anglican LOL:shrug:
