Publisher's Synopsis
The King's Chapel is a Christian Unitarian congregation based in Boston, Massachusetts since 1749. The chapel itself remains a Boston landmark and is listed as a national historic site in the United States.
The Book of Common Prayer is a simple prayer book, containing prayers and liturgies to be followed during services at King's Chapel. Opening with a table of holidays observed by the church, which is complemented by a calendar displaying where these holidays fall, the book proceeds into the prayers and liturgies that will form the basis of all religious services at the King's Chapel. Sections are devoted to specific religious holidays such as Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, Good Friday, and more. Religious ceremonies are also detailed, including Baptism, Confirmation, Matrimony, and services to bury the dead. The book concludes with details on services for Sunday schools.
Ultimately, The Book of Common Prayer is a fairly straightforward prayer book, and thus will appeal to those who have a use for such a document. This collection may also be of interest to religious historians, particularly those studying Unitarianism. The King's Chapel is a historic institution in Boston, and this book can function as a glimpse into the services of the past for the modern reader.
