sources and resources

Some years ago in answer to my question, so what is the doctrine of the Church of England? Geoffrey Cuming, standing on one foot and with a wry tolerance for American seminarians, replied, The Bible. and The Book of Common Prayer. My follow up question: which edition of the Book of Common Prayer? All of them. He explained that in the Church of England, unlike the Episcopal Church in the United States, when a new edition of the prayer book was published the others were not superseded (or repressed).  So all of them: 1549, 1552, 1559, 1662... and then the alternative service book that Geoffrey worked on came out in 1980 followed by Common Prayer around 2000.
