It's just that I know the Tractarians tampered with the prayer book. That's why I would rather stay with the closing prayers in the 1662.<br /><br />The prayers for the queen do need to be altered or replaced, though.<br /><br />I had a disagreement with Phil Veitch.

You're right. The heresy of 'common grace' needs to be slammed, even if it is expressed mildly.Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511526445868840330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15388492.post-22227354984171707102012-03-01T14:50:33.006-05:002012-03-01T14:50:33.006-05:00However, I'm leaning toward using the NKJV now...However, I'm leaning toward using the NKJV now because I'm finding that the ESV is not as literal as it claims to be.Charlie J.

But the prayers for the queen can be replaced with prayers for the president or the governor from the 1928 BCP with no problem. The 1662 is fine just the way it is other than the prayers for the queen.Charlie J.

I (we) keep the original 1662 language, thus using the KJV for most Scripture readings, but we use the ESV for the lessons (because its purpose is mostly for teaching). In the prayers for civil rulers we use the 1928 language which more closely reflects an American form of government. After the "Prayer for the Clergy and People, we add the 1928 "Prayer for All Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511526445868840330noreply@blogger.com
