News & Announcements

The 2024 Annual General Meeting of the Prayer Book Society of Canada was held via Zoom on Saturday, May 11th. The financial statements and the reports that were presented at the meeting can be read here.

Our longstanding goal of adding audio content has begun to come to fruition! Musical setting audio, voiced by Heidi Fewster, can now be heard for Compline.

This is a project that has recently been undertaken by Dr. Crouse’s former students to pass on in publication form “his profound philosophical thinking that gathers up the riches of the Western intellectual tradition, interpreted by caritas.”

The Very Revd. Chris Dow provides an update on the initiatives to expand the app to include French and Inuktitut, and to include musical settings for the liturgies, beginning with Compline.

The annual PBSC bursaries programme is now open. The Society offers bursaries of up to $1,000 to theological students who support the use of the Book of Common Prayer. The deadline for applications is November 3rd, 2023.

This prayer, spearheaded by members of the PBSC, was formally approved at General Synod in late June and will be included in all future printings of the BCP.

The 2023 AGM was held via Zoom on Saturday, May 27th. The documents relating to the meeting can be found here.

This annual event for youth aged 13-19 has been running in the Maritimes for 33 years! Participants pray together using the BCP, learn about the Anglican tradition, and relax and play in a beautiful riverside setting. Highly recommended!

In response to numerous requests, the Society is currently engaged in adding the French translation of the 1962 Canadian BCP to the Common Prayer Canada app. The Very Revd. Chris Dow, who chairs the app development committee, provides an update on this project.
