You need to look up the Scripture readings, but everything else is contained in the book. <BR/><BR/>http://www.lutheranupress.org/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=49Maurice Frontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00923071081627969343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10881824.post-1158944794540308212006-09-22T10:06:00.000-07:002006-09-22T10:06:00.000-07:00I wonder if Luther's disdain for the daily office ...I wonder if Luther's disdain for the daily office is still with us at some level.Andy Kaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863052203418450397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10881824.post-1158941228627376112006-09-22T09:07:00.000-07:002006-09-22T09:07:00.000-07:00That is a nice little prayer book.

I also have something called The Little Book of Hours published by the Community of Jesus - an ecumenical Benedictine-style community on Cape Cod.<BR/><BR/>Of course, for me the problem is really about setting aside regular time for prayer rather than sticking with a particular practice.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Why doesn't the ELCA publish some kind of easy-to-use breviary. There are orders for MP and EP in the LBW (and, I assume, in the new hymnal). Surely there would be some interest in that sort of thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10881824.post-1158930138518718402006-09-22T06:02:00.000-07:002006-09-22T06:02:00.000-07:00I like the Glenstal book.

I use the "prayer stops" sometimes during the day. <BR/><BR/>As far as the BCP, I couldn't really navigate it until seminary, where I took all my liturgy courses from Anglican profs. I think Derek posted a primer on MP/EP somewhere that might help.LutherPunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714831474356724194noreply@blogger.com
