It seems a shame that I don't possess a copy of the ASB. I recall visiting a church a year or so ago, where the only service book on display was the ASB, no BCP or Common Worship in sight. I wondered how the criminalisation has passed them by?<br /><br />Some parishes proudly proclaim that they are "Prayer Book" and that is perfectly legal as in Some places the "Sarum Missal" (particularly in Salisbury Cathedral, but this interim version between BCP and CW is not permitted for use. Is the CofE determined to pollute the Environment with them, while killing more trees by printing thousand of BCP and CW annually? I might also mention the wholesale printing of service sheets for every single service in the current pandemic. What I would like to see is every church goer having access to an electronic device on entry to a church which contains every single authorised or heritage Prayers books, bible versions and service sheets for all services, including the occasional offices and all available Hymn Books. This would allow everyone to use whichever is preferred in a particular church of any tradition to stop killing trees. It could even include the Roman Missal (in various translations) for the more daring fraternity of the CofE who use it. The American BCP could be used on 4th July so that prayers for the President of the USA could be used in services. Just think how many trees would be saved and it could possibly stop climate change in its tracks.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795284845836270713.post-84741452919615237792021-07-01T05:40:18.952+01:002021-07-01T05:40:18.952+01:00we carried ob using the ASB for years after it exp...we carried ob using the ASB for years after it expired, because we didn't think it would be fair on our blind Lay Reader to expect him to learn a new version of Morning PrayerJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279585502913902103noreply@blogger.com
