This chapter articulates and explores the underlying dynamic of liturgical change in Western Anglicanism. At its origins in the nineteenth century, the ‘Liturgical Movement’ was concerned with the renewal of the classical patterns of each tradition, Anglican, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic. At first, within Western Anglicanism, impulses for liturgical renewal were necessarily contained within use of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. When the focus of liturgical scholarship developed beyond the models of a divided Christendom to early Church sources as the common heritage of all Christians, liturgical renewal became associated with ecumenical renewal. This union had far-reaching consequences for Anglican liturgical developments.Less
