Excerpt from A Book of Prayers: For Public and Personal Use This little book, it is hardly necessary to say, is not offered as a substitute for any of the existing forms of devotion. On the contrary, it presupposes the use of these forms, and claims only to supplement them, as far as may be. The collects of the Book of Common Prayer, owing to their stateliness of style, their conciseness of expression, and a certain archaic literary flavour, are especially adapted to the needs of public liturgical worship. But these same qualities make them less suited for personal or family or informal use. Moreover each age is conscious of peculiar trials and problems, and must express this consciousness in its own words.
