A5 Folded Booklets

Files in the following formats are available on this page:

.PDF - Adobe Acrobat
.RTF - Rich Text Format
.DOC - MS Word
STAR - Star Office

Although some files were created using MS Word, the use of Star or Open Office is more common because of the ease with which this program will print booklets. More technical advice is available here

Star Office version 7 has been released by Sun www.sun.com but may not be free. Open Office is free, and will remain so from www.openoffice.org/ Open Office is basically the same program, but is missing some of the developed dictionary and database functions that Sun is not able to make available freely.

Rich Text Format (RTF) is also included to be loaded into almost any Word processor. In these complex layouts it will sometimes fail.

The ADOBE ACROBAT files which end .pdf do not suffer these problems, but cannot easily be edited. The page order will be correct to print the booklet, so will look wrong when viewed on screen. An Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4 or later must be installed to read and print these PDF files. The reader is free from Adobe

Technical notes:

These files were generated by cut and paste from the web page into an MS Word or Star Office Document. The data comes across as a Table which may be formatted and edited. The RTF files load into MS Word and Star Office reliably - a I cannot say how other programs may import them

The page is set to A5, but the table steals as much of the margins as practical. With care it should be possible to change the table properties.

These Passions are those included in the complete services for Palm Sunday above.

Suitable Prefaces

These texts were discovered in the English translation of the Altar Book of the Old Catholic Church in Germany, and have been edited to render their use of English more consistent with Common Worship. In most prefaces a customary English opening replaces the literal translation. A broad range of Anglicans will find these prefaces acceptable.

Due acknowledgement is made to the diocese of origin.

Some may prefer the unedited prefaces.

OldCatholicPrefacesPDF OldCatholicPrefacesRTF OldCatholicPrefacesSTAR

These texts are not authorised, but may be judged suitable by the president. The Prefaces of Ordinary time in this collection will usefully augment the provisions of Common Worship. Mark Eary of Praxis has offered this opinion, which I quote from a posting on Christians on the internet. www.coin.org.uk

"When Promise of His Glory was being prepared the legal advice was that proper prefaces were not required to be authorised, and could be commended. On that basis, I was certainly taught that a president could make up or discover other suitable proper prefaces under Canon B5. It is this canon that covers the provision of commended texts - they are simply texts commended by the house of bishops as being, in their opinion, reverent and seemly and not contrary to the doctrine of the Church of England in any essential matter. It is this that also made the prefaces in Enriching the Christian Year (not even commended but pure private enterprise) usable.

I understand that legal (and, indeed, liturgical) opinion is not unanimous on this, and this may explain why the very permissive rubric in Prayer E was made safer by mentioning prefaces and giving page numbers without quite going as far as saying nothing else may be used. However, having historically treated prefaces as not needing authorisation, it is hard to retreat from this position. Hence, Times and Seasons will make the same assumption."

Extra Eucharistic Prayers and Prefaces - Methodist and Reformed

Texts from the Book of Common Order of the Church of Scotland, and The Methodist Worship Book (English) adapted for use in particular ecumenical situations. The texts will work with the open structure booklet "Holy Eucharist OS', or with the Eucharistic Cards that do not print a Eucharistic Prayer in full.
Anglicans may judge any of the prefaces as suitable for use in a Common Worship Eucharistic Prayer.
There are some very fine extended prefaces in this collection.

Interim Collects

These Collects have no official status. They are the work of an individual layman in response to the pastoral needs of a particular congregation. The official collects have been so poorly received that the General Synod of the Church of England has commissioned another set. These collects may serve in the meantime.

Ministers who judge the official set of collects unsuitable in particular circumstances may also judge that Canon B5.1 allows them the freedom to make amendments or substitutions. These collects simplify the language of the official collects while attempting to retain the substance.

Marriage Services

The full Common Worship Marriage Service and the Order for the blessing of a civil marriage with supporting readings and prayers.

Marriage PDF Other formats of this service Zipped in table at bottom of page.

Abridged Marriage Service

With a hymn book, this booklet contains all that is needed for a conservative presentation of the Common Worship Marriage Service. The order complies with the expectations of many, and places the Liturgy of the Word after the Marriage.

Unless the Responsive Prayer inside the back cover is used, the congregation is not required to say anything but “Amen”. This booklet is primarily for the convenience of the minister; but as it remains small and easy to follow, it may be placed in the hands of congregations.

The main text is available as an RTF file (layout will be unpredictable), or in its native Star Office 6 form, or as a PDF file which prints the ready to use booklet pages in the correct order. The cover contains extra content on the inside, and is available in RTF or WORD format. The cover should be edited with the name of the church where the booklet will be used.

This form will be to the liking of those who found the ASB rite very acceptable.

Further Instructions on Covers

Change the clipart and the name of the church or institution. The black block on the fold of the cover is a means of identifying an odd book in a stack if the covers have the same colour. The RAChD booklets have these black blocks set. When one block no longer servers as identifier use two or more - its a bar code! For local church use devise a scheme. To set a block to black, double click on a blue rectangle, and use the dialogue box that appears to choose "fill" and "fill colour". Double click on the other blue rectangles, and delete them. If the scheme does not appeal, delete all the boxes and resave the template.
