The Anglican Cycle of Prayer
for use in the Diocese of Rupert’s Land
April 2015
Church Year B Year 2 Daily Office RCL/BCP
Introduction
For each Sunday there are intentions for specific dioceses/synods/groups in The Anglican Communion Worldwide, The Anglican Church of Canada (ACC) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) as well the Diocese of Rupert’s Land. One of the characteristics of the Christian community throughout the ages has been our commitment to pray for the whole world but especially for our Christian sisters and brothers in churches closely linked to our own.
Prayer cycles can be overwhelming and ‘crowded’ pieces of liturgies. Care needs to be exercised in setting a context.
