Reservation of the Sacrament at Winchester Cathedral, 1931–1935

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  21 March 2016

Extract

The Revised Prayer Book, though twice rejected by Parliament, was published in 1928 with the notice: ‘The publication of this Book does not directly or indirectly imply that it can be regarded as authorized for use in the churches.’ The bishops set out in July 1929 three principles by which they would guide parishes wishing to use the 1928 Book:

1. They would not regard as inconsistent with loyalty to the Church of England the use of the additions to or deviations from the 1662 Book contained in the 1928 Book. They would regard ‘any other deviations as inconsistent with Church Order’.

2. They would ‘endeavour to secure that the practices which are consistent neither with the Book of 1662 nor with the Book of 1928 shall cease’.

3. They would only permit 1928 usage if agreed to by the Parochial Church Councils and by the parties concerned at occasional offices.
