Anglican practices and rituals are primarily found in the Book of Common Prayer, a compilation of liturgy developed by Thomas Cranmer in the 16th century. As with other areas in Anglican practice, much diversity in worship has recently developed around the world, and many different Prayer Books have been issued.

The presence of children in worship as equal members of the Body of Christ is a blessing that we celebrate at St. Paul’s!  Children are encouraged to attend worship services with their parents or loved ones.  Participating in meaningful rituals together is the most effective way to share faith with children, and the worship experience of others is enriched by the gifts and leadership of children.
