Links to the Bible, The Book of Common Prayer, and the Lectionary
Like most Episcopal Churches, St. Alban’s uses the New Revised Standard Version for its liturgies, and recommends it to the typical Bible reader. Click on the Bible icon below for a web site that publishes the complete NRSV translation.
The Book of Common Prayer was first put into use in the Church of England in 1549. It has gone through many revisions since then. The BCP now in use was first published in 1979. Click on the Prayer Book icon for a web site that features it.
