Sexagesima - Anglican Use

Anglican Use

Anglicans in provinces which continue to use the 1662 Book of Common Prayer as the primary authority also retain Sexagesima Sunday along with the two other pre-Lenten Sundays, as do those who use the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer.

Famous quotes containing the word anglican:

    The Anglican Church is marked by the grace and good sense of its forms, by the manly grace of its clergy. The gospel it preaches is, “By taste are ye saved.” ... It is not in ordinary a persecuting church; it is not inquisitorial, not even inquisitive, is perfectly well bred and can shut its eyes on all proper occasions. If you let it alone, it will let you alone. But its instinct is hostile to all change in politics, literature, or social arts.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I was the rector’s son, born to the anglican order,
    Banned for ever from the candles of the Irish poor;
    The Chichesters knelt in marble at the end of a transept
    With ruffs about their necks, their portion sure.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
