At its annual general meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 23rd June 1999, the Prayer Book Society came out strongly against the proposal of a composite prayer book, combining elements of the Book of Common Prayer and the present alternative liturgies, and so replacing them both.
Reconciliation can only happen through respect for the Book of Common Prayer and new liturgies.
We already have a Prayer Book Language rite in the Book of Alternative Services, and it has few friends. A combination book would be seen by Prayer Book supporters as abolition. We had an exhaustive study of the matter by the B.A.S. Evaluation Commission which concluded that there was too much polarization in the church to revise the Prayer Book for quite a while. If anything, the Church has become more polarized since then. General Synod set the course to revise the B.A.S. in 2001 which is something everyone can agree about.
