Our liturgy both shapes and reflects who we are as Christians, and, as such, it is desirable that it reflect the common features of our Anglican identity. Consistency in liturgy across our diocese, particularly on Sunday mornings, roots us firmly in a shared spiritual tradition. Such consistency provides a solid foundation from which to seek ongoing liturgical renewal.

PILLAR
Worship is at the heart of Anglican identity. We have been described as people of 'common prayer,' able to visit Anglican churches around the world and recognizing the worship that is taking place.
At the same time, each worshiping community exists within its own unique context. Ideally, worship combines the familiarity of common prayer with the flexibility to speak to the faithful in a way that resonates with their daily reality. Worship shapes the life of a church, and feeds the spirits of those who attend. Ideally, worship is sensitive to the needs of those who attend regularly, as well as those who attend occasionally or may simply be visiting.
