Book of Common Prayer: Traditional Language Version

The Book of Common Prayer (2019), in the section Concerning the Divine Service of the Church, states that “any service contained in this book may have the contemporary idiom of speech conformed to the traditional language (thou, thee, thy, thine, etc.) of earlier Prayer Books.” This edition (Traditional Language Version) of the Book of Common Prayer (2019) was composed with the intention of offering a consistently Anglican, historic, and pastoral response to that rubric.
