Devotionals, Church, New Zealand, Anglican Communion 

Brian Carrell was a founder member of the Commission set up in 1964 by the Anglican Church in New Zealand to 'plan and prepare a Revised Book of Common Prayer...in the light of the needs of the Province and of contemporary liturgical developments.' The two poles of this charge: to prepare something rooted in New Zealand experience yet fully in touch with current liturgical thought world-wide made the final product a fresh and unique contribution, not only to the needs of the New Zealand Church, but to liturgical thought and practice internationally. The book is Bishop Carrell's personal account of the human stories, the theological nuances and the spiritual vision that over those 25 years came together in one of the world's most creative and beautiful prayer books. - from Amzon
