Prayer Book Is Now Approved by Anglican Synod
The General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada gave unanimous approval to a revised prayer book seen as the most changes since 1552. The book may be used occasionally under bishop direction for study and information, with further corrections likely before final approval in 1958. The draft reflects 12 years of work by 30 bishops, 25 clergy, and five laymen, introducing prayers for the dead and a shift away from viewing illness as divine punishment.
