The Book of Common Prayer is a collection of prayers, liturgies, and services used in the Anglican tradition. First published in 1549, it provides a framework for worship, including the structure of church services, daily prayers, and special ceremonies like baptisms and weddings. This book has undergone several revisions, with the most notable being in 1662, which remains widely used today. It reflects the beliefs and practices of the Anglican Church and serves as a guide for both personal and communal worship, emphasizing the importance of prayer in the Christian faith.
