Proposed Anglican liturgical book / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1928 Book of Common Prayer, sometimes known as the Deposited Book,[1]: 65 is a liturgical book which was proposed as a revised version of the Church of England's 1662 Book of Common Prayer. Opposing what they saw as an Anglo-Catholic revision that would align the Church of England with the Catholic Church, Protestant evangelicals and nonconformists in parliament put up significant resistance, driving what became known as the Prayer Book Crisis.[2]: 131

A text resultant from the Oxford Movement Tractarians and the reaction against it, the proposed revised prayer book failed in the House of Common, first in December 1927 and then in June 1928.[3]: 239 With the failures in parliament, the Church of England's spiritual authority suffered a significant blow.[4]: 1 Though parliament never approved it, the proposed prayer book's use would become widespread during the mid-20th century and see approval by the Church of England. The proposed prayer book also influenced later authorized Anglican liturgical books both in England and elsewhere.
