1549 Anglican Archbishop Committee Cranmer Liturgy Prayers Presides Protestantism Reformation Services
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the history of Anglicanism and the English Reformation. Dated 1549, the photograph depicts Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (1489-1556) presiding over a committee tasked with compiling the English Liturgy. The English Liturgy, also known as the Book of Common Prayer, would come to define Anglican worship and prayers for centuries to come. Cranmer, a key figure in the English Reformation, played a significant role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. The English Liturgy marked a departure from the Latin Mass, making religious services more accessible to the English-speaking population. The committee's work was a crucial step towards the establishment of Protestantism in England. The English Liturgy, which was published in 1549, included the Order for the Administration of the Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Daily Offices, and other essential prayers and rites. The image of Cranmer presiding over the committee underscores his leadership and commitment to the reform of the Church in England. The English Liturgy, which was the first authorized prayer book in the English language, would become a cornerstone of Anglican identity and a testament to the rich history of Protestantism in England.
