	Common Worship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Common Worship is the name given to the series of services authorised by the General Synod of the Church of England and launched on the first Sunday of Advent in 2000.
		Like the ASB, Common Worship is mostly in modern language (though it retains versions of the Eucharist and other material in the language and using the structure of the BCP).
		Common Worship bears more than a passing resemblance to the pre-Reformation church of which Cranmer commented 'many times there was more business to find out what should be read than to read it when it was found out'.

	PraiseFM - Worship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Worship is rooted in an event - the living, dying, and rising again of Jesus Christ in history.
		Worship is the highest elevation of the spirit, and yet the lowliest prostration of the soul.
		To worship God "in truth" is to worship God not as we think him to be, not as we hope him to be, not as we'd like him to be, but as he is. When people "see God" as he is, worship happens.

	Layer de la Haye / Breton / Marney Churches - Common Worship
		Until the introduction of Common Worship services in 2001 there were different patterns of worship in each of the churches for historical and practical reasons.
		Common Worship provides a wealth of new material and there are arguments for having all of it available to everyone.
		This is the main act of Sunday Worship on alternate Sundays at Layer Breton and Layer Marney and the use of Common Worship forms was discussed by the Committee at its meetings on 26th March and 9th May.

		The Book of Common Worship was authorized for voluntary use as a resource book by the General Assembly in 1991 and is the standard of public worship for our denomination.
		Worship leaders should therefore use it as such and should recognize the quality of worship that is contained within it.
		This is especially true of worship committees who will find its introductory articles at the beginning and scattered through the book to be of considerable help in understanding what worship is all about.

	The purpose and function of common worship
		The shaping process which is worship, therefore, even though it focuses on the individual, must have a social and historical dimension if it is to be complete.
		The worshiper is called to be part of the sacred event and to be transformed by it.
		Of course, worship need not be exclusively any one of these, and rarely is. There are times when we want worship to be educational.

	COMMON WORSHIP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It was the General Synod that inaugurated the round of liturgical revision which has culminated in Common Worship and, through its revision committees, full-synod debates and final authorization procedure, it is the General Synod that has shaped where we are now.
		Its goal, the renewal of Christian worship, is common to all the Christian traditions and a concerted return to a study of the worship of the early Church has led to a hugely welcome ecumenical convergence in worship.
		And, whilst it may seem that in the new Common Worship rite Eucharistic Prayers proliferate - we now have, eight authorised for use in the new Order One alone - in structure, in shape and in text they are becoming increasingly similar throughout the denominations even where doctrinal emphases remain different.

	Guidelines for Common Worship for Lutherans and Anglicans in Canada
		Worship together may also take place in situations of pastoral care, when members of the two churches are to be married, or at the funeral of a member of one congregation whose spouse belongs to another.
		At regional worship events or special joint worship services, planners shall take great care to adapt existing liturgies in a way that reflects the common structure of the eucharist and also respects the integrity and sensibilities of each tradition.
		New liturgies that may be developed shall reflect the common structure of the eucharist and the integrity and sensibilities of each tradition and are subject to the approval of the diocesan and synodical bishop as required.

		Common Worship is the name being given to all of the new services which are replacing those in the Alternative Service Book 1980 (ASB).
		All are designed to make Church of England worship flexible enough to fit the local situation, but stable enough to retain a sense of ‘family likeness’ within the Church of England (and with other Christians too).
		From 1 January 2001 the Church of England will have two sources for its worship: the Book of Common Prayer (which is untouched by the revision) and the new services, known collectively as “Common Worship”.

	Egypt: Piety of the Common Ancient Egyptians
		Although the common people played little or no active part in the formal rituals conducted by the official cults from the New Kingdom onward, they were nevertheless a very religious people.
		By the New Kingdom, common individuals were allowed to place votive offerings in the outer areas of temples, but the chief occasions during which they could approach the gods were public festivals.
		Those outside the priesthood also had access to "hearing ear" shrines that were placed in the outer walls of many temples, and the colossal statues in front of the pylons were also readily accessible to the people as mediators of their prayers.

		Using the Common Worship psalter and general style, Food in Due Season is the perfect companion to the Church of England's breviary, Common Worship: Daily Prayer, and will be welcomed by individuals, families, churches and religious communities.
		Gone were the seasonal variations, common offices of the saints, antiphons to psalms and canticles to aid prayerful use of the psalter.
		The Book of Common Prayer successfully – in a way – suppressed the excesses of the Roman breviary, but at the expense of the greater part of the breviary that was good.

		When the TV commentator spoke of the 15 years of work on ‘Common Worship’ and said that it would be a very long time before the Church of England changed its liturgy again, my heart sank.
		‘Common Worship’ is a backward-looking collection which testifies to an inward-looking church setting up barriers against the world and even against ecumenical co-operation.
		I often worship with fringe groups on the edge of the churches whose spiritual search is very real.

		It is also a demonstration of the capacity of the church's new catechisms to shape the conversation and to form the church and its members in Christian discipleship that is deeply rooted in the gospel and that bears fruit in active engagements for justice and peace in the world.
		Incorporating the Catechism into the worship service invites learning that is not mere memorization but a participation and a place within the community—a place and a way of saying why we are there and who it is that we gather to worship.

	Material History of American Religion Project--Weakness of Common Worship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The fact is that prayers should have something of the quality of good poetry; for worship must avail itself of the highest arts in the realm of speech as well as in music and in the graphic arts.
		Obviously in such a situation the center of attention should be the "whole estate of Christ's church," thanksgiving for its unity, contrition for its divisions, and a meaningful relation of the church, as a community of grace to the whole range of problems in the communities of the world.
		These protests had their validity in their day; for it is manifest again and again in the life of the church, that the various disciplines of the church which are properly means of grace may also become corrupters of grace.
