Thanks for sharing! your little trigger findings is a delightful one for Catholics like me who now own this handsomely bound copy, and use this book for devotional reading. I would imagine other denominations who share the same devotional interests with Catholics might also find this book quite uniquely ecumenical.

Ha! Then my work here is done. Thank you, friend.

Yes...I see there may be an issue, but I do like the layout of the text, easy to read for me and the color added breaks up the page. I still have my old very small version. Always enjoy the videos. take care

Anglicanism, especially after the Liturgical Movement, have warmed up to the idea of pleading for the intercession of the saints, or at least invoking or explicitly mentioning the saints in our liturgies

Its been interesting to see how Crossway's offerings have grown the last few years when it comes to liturgical prayer books. Perhaps for those who might be concerned about dipping their toes into the Anglican world. I've looked at a few and they're definitely saint-free!

Most evangelicals just aren't ready for that.

Can I have the ISBN for the 1549 you have with the red cover?

The ACNA is made up of different kind of Anglicans, including Anglo-Catholics. The Saint Bernard Breviary is an Anglo-Catholic prayer book. There are some traditional 39 Articles Anglicans who don't like the ACNA for that reason. What came to my mind watching this video (which I sadly missed two months ago when it first appeared) is that the same problem exists among Muslim sects. 12er Shi'ite Muslims ask Muhammad, his daughter Fatima Az-Zahra, her husband Ali Abu Talib (who was Muhammad's cousin), and their progeny to the 12th Imam to pray for them because Fatima, Ali Abu Talib, the 1st Imam, and the other 11 Imams to pray for them. The idea is not that these 14 pure ones can answer prayers, because as creatures they cannot. However, Fatima and Ali Ibn Talib were martyred, while the next 10 Imams were martyred by the Caliphs of the Umayyads and Abbasids, who all Shi'ites believed hijacked Islam and converted the State into an Empire. All but one Sufi lineage accept up to 8 of the 12er Shi'ite Imams as spiritual leaders in their lineages, despite most of them following Sunni Muslim schools of Shariah. In fact, 12er Shi'ite Muslims can ask John the Baptist, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Peter, and Saint James the Just, to pray for them, because they believe John the Baptist was a Prophet, the Virgin Mary is like Fatima Zahra, and Prophet / Messenger Jesus had 12 Imams, the first two being Simon Peter and James the Just. It is the same with Prophet / Messenger Moses and Prophet / Messenger Ishmael. Traditionally, most Orthodox Sunnis who were not Sufis still accepted Sufis as Muslims, and eventually tolerated the 12er sect of Shi'ite Muslims. However, hardline Sunnis and Fundamentalists believe Shi'ite Muslims and Sufis are outside Islam. This is why you hear about Shi'ite Mosques being bombed by al-Qaeda and other fundamentalists. I love the Psalms of David, as well as many Canticles in both Testaments, and I read the Bible. That accounts for my attraction to the Book of Common Prayer and Breviary collecting. Shi'ite Muslims have the equivalent of Canticles and Commemoration of Saints, as do Sufis. There are even Shi'ite traditions of Muslims asking 6th Imam why an Eastern Catholic priest was able to heal sick people. The 6th Imam states that the priest had a relic of a Saint and that Saint asked God to heal those sick people. Thus, Shi'ite Muslims are the Catholic / Orthodox of the Muslims, while Sunnis are the Protestants. Shi'ite Muslims are only 10% of all Muslims, however. Too much information, perhaps. However, the parallels are striking.
