The Book of Common Prayer - presented by the Rev'd Canon Dr Judith Maltby

 

Presented by the Rev'd Canon Dr Judith Maltby

2012 will mark the 350th anniversary of the Prayer Book that was introduced following the restoration of the monarchy after the English Civil War, following on from the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible in 2011. Both books have exerted enormous influence over English language and religion, and variants of the Book of Common Prayer are used in other 50 countries and in over 150 different languages. Canon Dr Judith Maltby, one of the world's leading experts on the Prayer Book, will introduce us to the fascinating story behind its introduction and use.

Canon Maltby will present our fourth object, the Book of Common Prayer, on 28 November at 7.30pm in Deddington Parish Church.
