1979 & 1928 Prayer Books Compared in 20 Statements

It is my firm belief that the abandonment of Orthodox Books of Common Prayer, the adoption of the Other Book (1979) and the new age theology that led to it, are the root cause of all the problems in modern Communion Anglicanism.

Adherence to an Orthodox BCP, especially the 1928 US version in the US is the bedrock of strength and a source of comfort to Continuum Anglicans and those few remaining Orthodox parishes in ECUSA.

While many blogs focus predominantly on the issue of homosexuality, I feel there is more need for discussion on the topic of Prayer Books.

Below is a nice little comparison on the subject from the Rev'd Dr. Peter Toon over at Anglicans At Prayer .

Also, over at Episcopalians for Traditional Faith there is a large .pdf file of a pamphlet entitled "What's the Difference?" from Nancy Von Klemperer on comparisons between 1928 and 1979.

I would love to hear everyones take on the subject of Prayer Book revisionism and retention of Orthodox versions.
