Collects and Liturgical Texts

Some collects and other liturgical texts used in An Anglican Synaxarium come from authorized Anglican liturgical sources. Other prayers are newly composed for the project.

The Book of Common Prayer

The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church, according to the use of The Episcopal Church. 1979. Published by Church Publishing Incorporated.

Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2024

Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2024, conforming to The General Convention 2024. Published by Church Publishing Incorporated.

The book states: “Portions of this book may be reproduced by a congregation for its own use. Commercial or large-scale reproduction, or reproduction for sale, of any portion of this book or of the book as a whole, without the written permission of Church Publishing Incorporated is prohibited.”

Newly Composed Collects

Collects identified as newly composed are original to An Anglican Synaxarium. The collects in the Synaxarium do not all come from Lesser Feasts and Fasts: the project uses received collects, adapted prayers where authorized and appropriate, and newly composed prayers, according to its editorial rules.
