I have taken the Daily Office (aka Morning and Evening Prayer) and the Lectionary (an annual Bible reading calendar) from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and combined them into a downloadable PDF that can also be printed as an A5 booklet, intended for individuals and/or congregations.

There are two different versions. One version has the original language of the prayer book, the other version however, has modernised language, intended for younger people and/or those who are unfamiliar with the archaic language of the 1662 prayer book.

In addition, the rubrics (instructions) in both versions have been rewritten from the original to add more clarity so that it is easier for people to understand what they are supposed to do.

All changes and edits to the Daily Office were written by me, while the Lectionary was written and edited by my wife, and these are intended to help as many people as possible pray to God with the Daily Office.

I embarked on this project because I was dismayed to find that there were no good quality downloadable versions of either the Daily Office or the Lectionary anywhere online, and I keep getting asked by people, especially new Anglicans, for where to find these if they do not yet have a physical prayer book. Hopefully by providing these booklets more people can now be enriched by this wonderful tradition, and the fantastic Bible calendar that Thomas Cranmer himself compiled.

Additionally, a new page has been added to this site called Resources (linked below), where the Daily Office and my modernised version of the 1662 Catechism can be downloaded:

FYI, clicking the download links will take you to the ‘Christian Encyclopedia’ domain from WordPress, this was the original name of my blog years ago until I changed it to New Kingdom, and unfortunately I cannot change that domain as the host for my media files.
