This year, 2012, is an important one. As well as the Sovereign marking her Diamond Jubilee as Queen, it will see the 350th anniversary of the Book of Common Prayer, the heart of our national church’s worship.
The 1662 Prayer Book has been familiar to generations of men and women: for worship, baptisms, marriages and deaths. It is loved for its theology as much as for its wonderful language.
