Thank you Anna, I’m new to Anglican Church. I haven’t been confirmed yet or even be able to go through the Anglican 101 classes yet since the next round for our church is in the fall. I was really called by the Lord and dove in head first and bought a BCP and started looking to pray the office. I’ve now been through 2 Anglican 101 class for other churches that were posted on TH-cam and find the more I listen the more I pick up. I say this not to brag but show my hunger for truth and to let others know you don’t have to wait to learn about Anglicanism. I have several saved videos and even an Anglican 101 playlist where I put videos like yours. Let me just say that the way you break it down, chronologically, simply, and frame your responses as from someone who just picked up a BCP is amazing. One thing I would change, and this only because I was made aware of my of sin in this recently, provide a warning. Liturgy can become precious, and the BCP is a great tool but it is that, a tool, used to help prepare our minds and guide us in prayer. It can help and hurt if you’re not careful. It can help on the days you don’t feel like praying but do because you have the words provided, but if you find yourself simply rushing through it or holding yourself on a pedestal because you pray the office 2 or 3 times a day you’re missing the point like I did. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
I have a friend who recently started working for Forward Movement. She and I just had a Zoom chat about barriers to entry into the church for those who did not grow up in the Anglican tradition (like me). We talked about how helpful it would be to have more resources out there to help break down some of the barriers to entry into Anglicanism as a way of life. I shared this video with her, because this is the EXACT kind of thing that I think people would be looking for. I recently started praying the Daily Office on Zoom with some a couple of different parishes that had their zoom links posted, and I have found it super helpful as a way of providing a balance between structure of praying and hearing the Bible as well as having the flexibility to personalize it for my spiritual practice, and having videos like this help to invite other people to join me in that journey. Thank you!
Nicely done! This should be a great help to those unfamiliar with (or totally lost by) the Daily Office.
Thank you, Kevin - I do hope this helps makes the Daily Office more accessible!
First time I ever actually understand how the Daily Office works! Thank you ☺️
Very helpful. Thank you for this well done video with clear explanation concerning use of BCP. Peace be with you in your continued ministry.
Thank you for explaining the connection between the offices and the hours I never knew those were the same thing from different traditions. I have a friend that talks about learning to pray through the hours I never understood what she meant till now.
Great summary and explanation.
Thank you for providing this- It is greatly appreciated.
I have been looking into the Liturgical Protestant traditions for a few months, mainly Lutheran and Anglican, and so have been googling about the BCP as a way to be more consistent in my prayer life. And on this search did not at all expect to see Anna Page.
Maybe you don't remember me but it's great to see you have developed in both your Army career and spiritual life since your cadet days. I pray for you and your walk with the Lord.
Outstanding. Well done 👍
Thanks for this. My Bishop asked me to begin praying the Dauly Office as I am in vocation formation, but I never knew how to do it. Thanks for this clear description, Reverend.
Of course, Robert! I pray your formation and journey with the Daily Office has been going well. If I can be of any help, please let me know. I'll hold you in my prayers!
Thanks. You're good at this.
OK, that appears to have been done without edits. Well done! Excellent job and I've passed it along.
Thank you for passing this along, Tom - I hope the video is of help!
Thanks for the handy guide, a synopsis of page 144 explaining when to use the various canticles with the Old Testament and New Testament readings.
Found this very helpful--thanks so much!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for making this video, very helpful!
Fantastic
Thank you Anna.
This was so informative! I am new to the Episcopal church and don’t really understand what’s up with all the page turning. Now I know. Thank you for the history lesson. It makes it all much more valuable to me. And you’re funny and inspirational to boot!
I am beginning rcia next week , I have a copy of this book and am watching this video for my own expanded knowledge, alot of information in this video , but I feel as if I really comprehend any of it . I know so little , one day I hope to have a personal understanding .
Great video! It was extremely helpful for me! May I ask - if I were to pray the daily office on my own, would I just leave out the parts designated for the officiant and just read those for the officiant and/or the people?
Thank you posting a video on Book of common prayer.I am learning about Christianity.I developed interest in specially Anglican tradition ,it's tradition of navigating a way between Calvinist and Lutheran.First thing a non Christian face while learning about Christianity is how to understand who are Methodist, Presbyterian,reform churches etc.I am still don't know exactly what are difference among them and where to go ?
Please explain if possible about Episcopal tradition.Once again thank you for this post .
I pray your exploration of Christianity is enriching, Gopesh! It really can be overwhelming with the various denominations. Anglicanism really is the via media, or "the middle way," that tries to bridge Protestantism and Catholicism.
May I recommend before delving into denominational differences looking to what Christians across denominations have agreed upon to be true throughout history? For example, take a look at the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed if you haven't already. These statements of faith are a summary of Christianity - and excellent jumping off points!
@@annapage6403 Can you guide me in my journey to reach my final destination which truth of all denominations? Can you recommend me some books to start with?
Thank you.
When I did my undergrad internship, my mentor had me pray the daily office.
so very helpful...clear and user friendly. This video is truly a blessing to the Church, thank you! Quick question, how do you know if the daily lectionary is in year 1 or 2?
Thank you, @Simeonshope! Please excuse my delayed response to your question - I tend to forget to check TH-cam comments. In the Episcopal Church, we are in Year One. From the BCP 1979, we determine this by looking at the date of the First Sunday of Advent. If the First Sunday of Advent precedes an odd-number year, then Year One begins. If the First Sunday of Advent precedes an even number year, then we begin Year Two. So, for 2020-2021, the First Sunday of Advent was 29 Nov 2020 (even year leading into an odd year), so we began Year One on Advent 2020.
The BCP 1979 explains it like this on pp. 934 -"The Daily Office Lectionary is arranged in a two-year cycle. Year One
begins on the First Sunday of Advent preceding odd-numbered years, and Year Two begins on the First Sunday of Advent preceding even-numbered years. (Thus, on the First Sunday of Advent, 1976, the Lectionary for Year One is begun.)"
Convoluted, but I hope this helps!
I am a cradle Episcopalian.
This was very helpful, one can always learn
More.
Nicely done
Thank you
When we get to the lessons, you needed to help know which year we take the readings from: Daily Office year one or year two.
As a Catholic I do not use this. I use the Divine Office Vol 1-3 (Because there are 3 Volumes in the UK rather than the 4 Volumes in the US) I think you explained this well and found it interesting to see minor differences in the format. I think that Christian unity is important and we shouldn’t be opposing each other. I personally do believe that the Universal Church is the original because along with Orthodox Churches it has Apostolic Succession. Having said this I do strongly believe it’s important to maintain Christian unity across all denominations and off shoots. Christ didn’t suffer death for us all his followers to be set against each other. He was raised from death to conquer death and draw all to himself. Peace be with you, God Bless
Morning and Evening Prayers used to be the typical service in Anglican/Episcopal churches. In the 1960s and 70s Communion became the typical service.
Many thanks for taking time to make this video, it was very instructive. I try to begin the day with a brief devotion, but I find performing the full Daily Office alone to be a bit awkward. I go through the lectionary psalm, OT, epistle, and gospel readings every day, but it seems that the Daily Office was really intended to be performed with an Officiant present. Any tips for making this flow easier solo? Blessings!
Thanks for watching, Andrew! You're not alone in finding praying the Daily Office solo to be awkward - especially since it was, originally, intended to be prayed in community (of at least 2, so there could be a "call and response" like you mention!). A few thoughts:
(1) Have you tried reading the officiant parts aloud and reading the people parts in your head? Or vice versa? This way you might be able to create the illusion that you're not praying alone.
(2) Try reading the whole Daily Office (whether MP, Noonday, EP, Compline) aloud. Praying out loud helps me stay focused, even if I'm physically alone.
(3) Find someone who would be willing to pray the office with you - even if over Zoom! My congregation and I found a lot of comfort in jumping on Zoom together to pray. It was a constant reminder that though we are not physically together, we're still connected - almost like a visual representation of the communion of saints.
I hope some of these ideas help! If you've found something else that works for you, please let us know. This is a common struggle for people!
@@annapage6403 these are great suggestions, many thanks!
Hi! I am new to the Episcopal Church. I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church but I feel like the Episcopal Church is like Catholic without the guilt or shame. I got a book over the weekend which was from the Bishop of Indianapolis Catherine M. Waynick and it summarized the Book of Common prayer. Now I’m thinking of getting a copy of the BCP but I noticed there are different types from different years. Which do you recommend? Trying to find a good starting point. I have been to a few masses and I loved it
Thank you in advance
Love this video - what editing software did you use to do all the titles?
Thank you, Greg! I used the "Video Editor" app that comes on Dell computers as a part of Microsoft Photos. I hope this and the video help!
What version of the BCP is she using? I’ve looked for a nice copy but haven’t been able to find one.
I want to return to my mother’s church The Church of England . God help me to return
What season are we in right now? Jan 17, 2022
May I ask you are you Episcopalian? Just not many traditional Anglican churches have female vicars.
I am Episcopalian, Tom!
@@annapage6403 okay thought so.
I have a book of common prayer in blue and I see this one in red. What is the difference? 2:03
I wish I could afford one.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: If your standard Bible does not have the Apocrypha, in order to replace any of those the daily appointed readings, simply substitute one of the 31 Proverbs in the Bible. Too bad the Episcopal liturgical committee didn't provide alternative Old Testament selections like other Anglican provinces or else like the Lutherans and Presbyterians have, who do use the 1979 daily office lectionary. Pure short-sidedness, not considering most people don't own a Bible edition with Apocrypha.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe Episcopalianism is real!
The BCP (1662) is a very theological sound prayer book, however the Episcopal Church is an apostate church mired in deep spiritual rebellion and pride. I pray that they return to Christ and be restored. God bless.
Apostate? Defined by whom? Who did GOD reveal this to? In fact, no-one is the answer.
@@Episcopalianacolyte
Pagans mad, lol
@Pedro Ivan Sanchez
The current Episcopal Church has nothing to do with the reformation.
@@Episcopalianacolyte The Catholic Church excommunicated the Patriarch of Constantinople first.
@@ethanmcclain7570 that is true. Have you read Leo's bull? Compare it with 2 Timothy 3 : 2 and Titus 1 : 5 through 9. Leo XI was an idiot who did not know scripture. He also thought he was infallible when speaking ex- Cathedta which are new doctrines according to the CCC under papal infallibility. That is actually forbidden by Galatians 1: 8. So regardless of Leo XI throwing his bull first, it is irrelevant since his charges were false.
Jesus started one church and said it would last forever
The Roman Catholic Church
The real church is the Body of Christ. Which of the many 4 walls we choose to worship in is a tough choice. All Churches have flaws, but the more I learn, the more the Catholic Church seems to be closer to the real thing. The Episcopal Church Book of Common Prayer (BCP) we are told, has everything we need to know, but it has many flaws and only contains 70% or what's in the Bible at best. The very end of Revelations discusses the penalty for adding to and taking away from Scripture. Why not just use the Bible? The BCP and Bible say the Old Testament Morality laws still apply and a Holy Marriage is that of a Man and Woman before God. Yet, the Episcopal Church allows unrepentant "christians" in unholy same sex marrages to become deacons, bishops, etc. This goes against the Qualifications of Elders addressed in Titus but appears to be completely ignored by church leadership. Also, the Episcopal Church likes to use "newer" versions of the Bible that soften the tone on certain sins almost as if they aren't sins at all. Final question; Why is it so hard to actually find a Bible in an Episcopal Church?
@@johns1834 the Catholic Church has NO FLAWS
in its official teaching. Only flaws in its sinful
Priests and bishops just as king David and
St Peter and St. Paul were sinners.
The Catholic Church will NEVER teach gay
Sex or transgender or abortion or women priests or condoms or any other evil
@@PInk77W1 We plan to attend a local Catholic Church very soon. The Episcopal Church looks good on paper, however, in actual practice it has become a haven for the LGBTQ community, where they are told their lifestyle is NOT a sin. Anyone saying otherwise are misinterpreting scripture. Bishops and Deacon offers no scripture to support that idea, not one mind you, other than any scripture or biblical stories suggesting homosexuality is a sin has been misinterpreted. Leviticus 18, nah, forget that one, not in the BCP. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, just a misinterpretation so not in the BCP either. Same mentality as suggesting 2+2=4 may not be true in all cases due to misinterpretation. My intent here is to help expose this untruth to those still capable of seeing and hearing.
@@johns1834 soon. 5-10yrs from now
The Roman Catholic Church will be the only
Christian church against gay marriage just as today it’s the only church against condoms
1.The BCP contains errors and only covers ~70% of the bible, why not just use the bible? 2. Why does the Episcopal Church violates it's own BCP rules, regarding; old testament morality law, qualifications of Elders, and marriage?
@Pedro Ivan Sanchez The Episcopal Church BCP conveniently leaves out very important Bible verses referring to homosexuality, for example; 1-Corinthians 6:9, Romans 1:18 and on, and Leviticus 18 entirely. Many in the Episcopal Church, including ministers do not believe the Bible is true, so naturally homosexuality is essentially "NOT" a sin and homosexuals can become bishops, priest, and deacons. They are not doing these people any favors, in fact ignoring such things does more harm to everyone involved. We went home to Rome in the Catholic Church. The choice is obviously yours, but I suggest you stay as far away from the Episcopal Church as you can.
Take your bigoted nonsense elsewhere. No one here cares to entertain it. You pick and choose from the Bible, too. It's not the inerrant word of God. It's an amalgam of often poorly translated politically motivated texts written by dozens of different men often decades after the events described. Everyone picks and chooses from it. Fundies just lived deluded lives in which they think they don't.🤣
Looking at your Instagram, it seems clear that you are either pro-lgbt or you are indeed yourself part of the lgbt community. You are also a woman. Although the Episcopal church has decided to allow women to serve as priest, there is no Biblical foundation for this. Moreover, even a male priest who supported lgbt ideology and lifestyle would disqualify himself from ministry. These represent enormous problems with the choices of the Episcopal church. It's quite concerning. I'm sure you are a very nice person, but the Lord, as he reveals Himself in his Holy Scriptures, makes clear his positions. Jesus says, "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him". If we ignore glaring contradictions between how we believe and live our lives and His Word and we make no attempt to correct our ways in accordance with His Word, then we are walking in error and we are unrepentant.
Newsflash: The Episcopal church doesn't care about your bigoted opinion. Have a nice day!
1 Timothy 2:12
Proverbs 26:17 (modern translation: mind your own business & shut your mouth; no one is forcing you to be an Episcopalian)
@@CatherineMarianneso Episcopalians believe the Holy Word of God in 1st Timothy is wrong? Yea, fix that.
Your membership of a fake offshoot of a fake church Henry viii founded so he could have sex with women he wasn't married to is leading you to Hell.
Women should not preach....this is disgraceful
The first Christian minister was a woman. In John 4, the woman at the well. She ran back to the village to spread the good news of what she had just seen and heard. So she was the first Christian minister.
Nobody asked you, Darlene.
You seem like a sweet lady. I just wish you wouldn't have tried to take up a vocation reserved for men.
It's not reserved for men in the Episcopal church, genius.
So offensive and disrespectful to God’s word. A woman with a nose ring cos-playing a priest.
So offensive and disrespectful to God's word. An old Pharisee hag cos-playing a Christian.
Respectfully, those nose rings people have always looked at first glance like there is snot coming out. Doesn't look much better on the second glance. So, basically it's repulsive. Sometimes it's just good to be blunt. Otherwise appreciate your energy and joy.
That's not kind and I think it looks nice
Sometimes it’s better just to keep your opinions to yourself. Usually it is.
There’s nothing respectful about what you said. Just the opposite, actually.
It looks fine, you little jabroni
I’ll pray for you to become a kinder person lord knows you need it
That's a mighty Christian comment. Read the Bible and see if you learn something. Also, absolutely no one cares about your nasty opinion.
Why is this American girl dressed up like a vicar ?
Why is this old Pharisee man dressed up like a Christian?
