Below the fold is the liturgy my fiancee and I will be using at our wedding in August. The service is the 1662 solemnization of matrimony with the 1928 liturgy for holy communion inserted.

I’ve already added it to the list of links on the right, under Resources, but I wanted to specifically draw your attention to a site I was shown today: Cradle of Prayer. The website is posting daily professional recordings of the Anglican lectionary. They are the Morning and Evening Prayer services from the 1928 Book [...]

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through [...]

I meant to post this awhile ago, but seem to have forgotten.

 For the Church. O GRACIOUS Father, we humbly beseech thee for thy holy Catholic Church; that thou wouldest be pleased to fill it with all truth, in all peace. Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where it is right, [...]
