He was quite Protestant by the time he got to 1552, a might fine prayer book revision if I may say so. He envisaged further change, as you will get if you read the original preface as recorded in the 1662 Prayer Book. Unfortunately he eventually got so Protestant that he was burned, but it all redounded to the praise and honour of God in the end.<BR/><BR/>I believe our continuing Reformation does great honour to the principles that Cranmer lived by.Gordon Chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588151868151940982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299407302611232843.post-44054047389944741702008-03-27T12:07:00.000+11:002008-03-27T12:07:00.000+11:00I like the liturgical year, each year it presents ...I like the liturgical year, each year it presents the truths of the Gospel <BR/>*starting with (normally -this year is an exception) the Annunciation (God intervening in a new way showing His son is different (Unto which of the angels said He at any time..go on you can sing it)<BR/>then Palm Sunday -Christ proclaimed as King and Messiah by Gods ancient people the Jews<BR/>then Maundy Thursday, the gift of the Lords Supper to strengthen and revive us, to remind us of God's great grace to us<BR/>then Good Friday where we all of us including we who proclaimed him as king are shown as the weak people we are (even his Apostlese ran away and betrayed him, Nicodemus was a secret follower and so on) and where he took our sins upon himself<BR/>then Easter Day where he rose to show that death and sin are defeated<BR/>then Ascencion day where he goes to prepare a place for us<BR/>then Pentecost <BR/>but I could go on but why bother, its all Papist isnt it, makes me wonder why Cranmer kept it in the prayer book along with the rememberenace of the saints<BR/><BR/>If this is part of the Sydney Anglicans approach then I am sorry its not for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299407302611232843.post-75717596822966548422008-03-26T17:52:00.000+11:002008-03-26T17:52:00.000+11:00Why does the liturgical year need to be linked to ...Why does the liturgical year need to be linked to the beatific vision? Why can't it just be a good and well-tested teaching and discipleship method that moves through the gospel story in a regular pattern so that the congregation is not subject to the whims of the minister's hobby horses?
