The Gospel in the Prayer Book
This piece is reproduced with the permission of J.I. Packer. The Gospel in the Liturgy Do we value the Prayer Book enough? Do we appreciate its real quality? Do we make the best use of it? Certainly, the Prayer Book does not play in the lives of the present-day churchmen anything like the part it…
