ABOUT EVENING PRAYER

Evening Prayer is one of four similar prayer services in the Book of Common Prayer 1979—the others being Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, and Compline. These liturgies, collectively called the “Daily Office,” derive from Christianity’s earliest centuries, and versions of these services are prayed by Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and other traditions, to this day. At the time of the English Reformation, a version of the Daily Office was crafted in English for the first Book of Common Prayer, from which our service is derived—thus Evening Prayer is a distinctive part of our Anglican heritage as well.
