How wonderful to have this! So beautifully read and reverent. The cadence of this most noble form of the language is unrivalled. How could people ever sacrifice it for something that causes curiosity more often than devotion and love for God?
As regarding the Commination: is it appropriate for a layman or deacon to read it aloud in a service in the absence of a priest, or in private/family devotion?
As the PBS is not responding, I will say that the rubrics require a priest to read it. As absolution is not being pronounced, nor any sacraments given, I would think that someone other than a priest could read it, just as is done for Morning or Evening Prayer, but I suppose it would be up to local authority to say whether it may be done in a service. In private or family devotion, no permission should be needed, for the same reasons. (I am a layman who is well read in the history of the Book of Common Prayer, usually using the American 1789 BCP in my private or family devotions, but of course I have no authority to speak for a bishop.)
@@catrionam.mackirnan6646 The rubrics require priest to read it, because Cranmer took this liturgy from Sarum Missal, but omitted the imposition of ash. In old times it was celebrated just before the mass (and after the Sext with seven penitential psalms). It was noticed that this service in 1549 & 1559 Prayer Book did not provide any ending, probably it was assumed to celebrate the Communion office (or Ante-communion) immediately after, as the old custom did. It was not until 1662, the Priestly Benediction (Num. 6:23) was set at the end, however it requires the Minister to read it along. So probably I think when a Layman read this office, the benediction may be omitted or replaced by the Grace.
Many seem to have forgotten the beauty of the Traditional Prayer Books, let alone how to use them. The 1979 leaves me wanting anymore, though that was my first exposure to any Anglican liturgy. It's nice just to see this at all.
@@AZVIDE0Z nice to hear. I basically can recommend videos on Solemn Choral Evensong and a High Church Mass if you want to see the Prayer Book chanted. Its really beautiful when you chant these prayers I wonder why the PBS does not put out Choral renditions as well. They should try.
@@hesedagape6122 Agreed. I think the main idea is just to bring awareness and exposure to true traditional Reformed liturgy to the modern age and preserving it. And for that, I am thankful 😌
It’s funny cause I completely disagree. Whilst I enjoy a good choral evensong there is something lovely about a simply spoken morning or evening prayer or communion service… We humans have a tenancy to make idols of things…including music. It’s good to remember that the early Christians didn’t have the befit of choirs and music directors and organists… It’s important sometime to focus on the words and not on the music. After all it’s The word of God that is both in the spoken word and in the sacrament of baptism and holy communion that saves us….music does not save us, it’s an optional extra, a beautiful optional extra but an optional extra never the less.
@@sebastianbendyna2363 Sir you do know that the Psalms and Canticles were chanted a'capella in the Early Church and Early Rabbinic Judaism. I wonder why you think organists are needed to chant music
"finally to beat down Satan under our feet,
We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord."
Liturgical perfection, quiet, restrained, dignified, this is true Anglicanism.
As an old Trustee and Youth Officer of the PBS it’s lovely to see this on TH-cam.
Thanks for the service. Keep up the good work. Pax Christi.
I just love this. I also loved the north end celebration which I just finished watching. My church has adopted this practice and the 1662 BCP.
This is such a beautiful and elegant recitation of the service. Thank you.

I wonder how many times in a year the commination is preached?
Normally only on the first day of lent (if it's said at all), but the minister can have it read more often
23:25 33:12
Let me be frank and say the prayer book comes alive in chant. Poetry recitals have no appeal for me
