The Altar Book of the Anglican Church in North America

Designed for beauty, durability, and seamless liturgical use, this Altar Edition of the Book of Common Prayer (2019) contains all texts appointed for the celebration of Holy Communion. Every detail has been carefully considered to support reverent worship at the Holy Table, combining classic craftsmanship with practical usability for the celebrant.

The liturgies reproduce the unaltered text of the Prayer Book while incorporating thoughtful layout enhancements for ease of use. A large 17-point typeface ensures exceptional readability, while rubrics are printed in red roman type for greater clarity. Supplementary texts—such as Seasonal Greetings and the Exhortation—are placed directly within the liturgies so the celebrant can move smoothly through the service without unnecessary page turning. Leatherette fore-edge tabs and five extra-wide ribbons in the primary liturgical colors make navigation effortless during worship. Chant notation is also included throughout for sung liturgy.
