debated during this year's General Synod. For further information on

Synod Press Officer.
BILL NO 1
Explanatory Memorandum
In
2000 the General Synod approved, by the requisite majorities, a
resolution granting leave for the introduction of this Bill and
accompanying Schedule in 2001.
This Bill incorporates material from the Book of Common Prayer of
1926, makes minimal changes to remove anachronisms and to update
rubrics; but other than changing the "which" form to
"who" in the Lord's Prayer and "Ghost" to
"Spirit", preserves the traditional language of that book.
This is part of the process of making a revision of the Book of
Common Prayer, 1926.
