    Just joined the forum.

    Anglican...High Church tendencies.

    Confirmed in Yorkshire.

    Just researching the BCP and the Confession forms...being a frequent partaker of absolution.

    The catholic confitior is an interest of mine at present and I wonder what is the Anglican closest form?

    Also not sure what the common worship texts are compared to the BCP...?

    God bless all.

    David.

    Welcome.

    Your question is really a matter of what liturgical texts your parish/diocese uses. For example, those Anglican parishes which celebrate the rites of the Anglican Missal should be well familiar with the confiteor.

    I find that the confession style of the confiteor is most closely modeled in modern Anglican Compline services, but your mileage may vary. The two classical Prayer Book confessions (from the Daily Office, quoted by Invictus above, and from the Communion service) are excellently more robust, however.

    A belated welcome, I've not been lurking here too often recently.

    If you want to look at the Common Worship materials (one shudders to think why you would) they can be [all too] readily found on the C of E's website.

    I, too, have high church tendencies but also happen to live on the better side of the Pennines.

    I'll happily raise a glass but I prefer a nice, full bodied red.

    Cheers!:cheers:

    I hear you on the common worship...I visited my minster church for evening prayer last week and when I couldn't keep up with the vicar with the compline service (we were using the CofE prayer app) he stopped as he could see I couldn't work out where the heck he was and I said are you reading the traditional version as mine is set on that...he said ah no no use the contemporary version...i felt disappointed inside as the language in the traditional mirrors the BCP far closer as is designed no doubt.

    The BCP is a remarkable text...would Cranmer turn in his grave knowing there was a new common worship resource?

    Okay, I'm not sure where the heck you are. Did you go to Evening Prayer or Compline?

    I have to agree with you that the BCP is far superior to Common Worship (CW). I recall reading an article on Common Worship in which the author said the CW Eucharist was now a truly Catholic Mass. I looked him up and discovered he was a Roman Catholic. I was able to contact him and enquire why he thought the CW Eucharist was now so 'Catholic'. I was quite disgusted to learn that he did not think that but had simply been paid to say it.

    From what little I’ve seen, Common Worship is what the RC Liturgy of the Hours would have been had the compilers and editors of the latter been the least bit competent. Some of it (the former) is quite good, and can lend itself to a very dignified liturgical execution. The problem is that there are so many options that it stretches the meaning of “liturgy” almost to the breaking point.

    Is there a list of authors anywhere for the CW?

    I'm sure there's a list of contributors for it somewhere. To be honest, being here in the States, my familiarity with Common Worship is rather thin. It simply isn't used over here, to the best of my knowledge. Wish I had a better answer for you. All I know that is if it's a Liturgy of the Hours style approach that one is after, from what I've seen, Common Worship does that much better. (My own preference is for a set liturgy that is truly 'common'.)

    I am not certain that Common Worship could be described as like the Liturgy of the Hours or, as it is called here in the UK, the Divine Office.

    To begin with Common Worship provides for all liturgies, including the Eucharist, the Daily Office, all the occasional offices, and many others. The RC Divine Office contains only that, i.e. the Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours (and other names). Secondly, I also do not believe that the Divine Office provides as much choice or variation as Common Worship. There is almost certainly more choice in the 1970 Divine Office than the pre-Vatican II Breviary but I do not think the variation to create your own service exists as is possible with Common Worship.
