In some parishes, the BCP is supplemented with the People's Anglican Missal . You may find some variations from parish to parish. If you are new to our worship you may find some customs in the service unfamiliar. The priest at your local parish will be happy to explain to you the symbolism of our worship. One general rule of thumb for Anglicans is that we stand to praise God, sit for listening, and kneel to pray.
Worship is our prime responsibility.
We believe that the life of Christian service is possible only through a full life of worship, through which we receive God's love and express our love to Him. Hence, we believe it is our obligation not only to worship God together every Lord's Day but also to have a daily life of prayer. All Christians are given special Spiritual Gifts by the Holy Spirit. These Gifts are meant to be used for the benefit of the Christian community. The S.E.C. has been built upon the efforts of its laity.
