Daily Services Morning and Evening Prayer
From A Prayer Book for Australia
“The recitation of Morning and Evening Prayer has become the foundation of my
spiritual life. The daily offices not only ensure my devotions are fashioned by
Holy Scripture; they are a constant reminder of the distinctiveness of Anglicanism.
While the initiative for this volume came from the Anglican Defence Force chaplains
who needed a more compact book when deploying to operational areas beyond Australia,
I warmly commend it to all Anglicans. It promotes spiritual discipline and a fuller
appreciation of the God who longs to hear our prayers.”
Rt. Rev. Dr Tom Frame, Former Bishop to the Australian Defence Force
“A psalm, a canticle or two, and the same bible reading that tens of thousands
of other Anglicans are hearing on the same day – these enrich me, even when I am
praying alone, in a suburban parish or while travelling away from home. In daily
Morning and Evening Prayer, I am glad to know I am truly praying with the Church.”
The Reverend Dr Elizabeth Smith, Parish priest in Perth
“The Daily Office in APBA is an excellent tool to assist Christians in the duty
and joy of daily prayer and Bible reading. It is simple, flexible, straightforward
to use. I recommend it.”
Rt. Rev. R. Forsyth, Bishop of Sth. Sydney, Anglican Church of Australia
“Change is the culture of our times. Busyness becomes routine. Isolation and fragmentation
lurk in the wings. Habit that gives balance and rhythm that brings cohesion require
resources that enable the spirit to catch up with our running shoes...”
The
Most Reverend Roger Herft, Archbishop of Perth
