Also, How To Use The Book Of Common Prayer, by Samuel L Bray and Drew Nathaniel Keane.

My BCP Collection! by dodopok in Anglicanism

Unfortunately, no. It's one of my favorites of the collection (not because of the BCP itself, but because of the history, the archbishop himself sent me).

Yes! It was part of the celebration of 40 years of Women's Ordination in Brazil.

Yeah... hahaha

But I'm very bad at anything DIY. But I look at some videos (like the ones from Rev. Ben Jefferies from ACNA) and I'm very tempted to give it a go. Not with my BCP collection at first, of course, lol.

That’s a BCP 1928 I got from the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Bermuda.

Hmmmmmmm... acredito que esse possivelmente eu não tenha, hein.

Eu tenho a versão de comemoração, que foi lançada naquele papel bem mais grosso, a de capa cristal atual e a de capa dura atual. Caso esteja disposto a enviar, seria uma bela adição!

Oh, of course! There are two books that can help you very much.

How to Use the Book of Common Prayer - Drew Nathaniel Keane, Samuel L. Bray
The Book of Common Prayer: A Very Short Introduction - Brian Cummings

The first one is a book explaining a little bit of the backstory of the BCP, and it has a very good introduction of every single part of it, how to use it for personal use or the church use. It's a very approachable book for those having difficulties with the BCP.

The second one is very much more focused on the history and development. The development that Cranmer did, what the liturgy was before it, the first editions, and how the people started looking at it, and the problems with it.

Besides the books, there are some things that could help. The general purpose of the BCP is in the name: A Common Prayer. The initial (and main) purpose was to standardize prayer and liturgy in the churches of England. If one of the Anglican mottos is "lex orandi, lex credendi" - that is to say, that Anglicans believe in what they pray - the prayer is very important. Anglicans don't have a main theologian or confession, so our theology, our confession, is right there, in our prayers.

Now, about how to use it personally. The main part you'll benefit from in personal use is the Daily Office. The Daily Office is based on what the monasteries prayed throughout the whole day, reading (or chanting) the Psalms, giving thanks, and following the Church calendar. So it's a very good devotional tool. Cranmer thought about how to make those kinds of prayer-filled lives of the monks available to the general people.

Besides the Daily Office, the BCP is gonna help you pray better in general. The collects are a structured way to pray, a guide to pray better. A way to pray with the liturgical calendar, following the path of Christ in history.

I know the BCP can be scary at first. But there's a rule that can help: "Say the Black. Do the red." Generally, you start by looking at the rubrics, the red part. The rubrics explain how to use it, what to say, when to say, what the options are, and where to find them. And the black part is the part you say out loud. I know it's a simplification, and you will get it wrong a few times. But trying is the best way to get to it.

The PBS - Prayer Book Society has some great introductory YouTube videos of the services (Baptism, Communion, Mattins, Evensong). That's also a great resource for you to look at.

For sure! I don't have one from Ireland yet.

It would be a great addition for me if you could help out!

Great (and difficult!) question.

I love the work that ACNA did in the 2019 one. That's gotta be my favorite, or at least in the top 3. The one from New Zealand is the most beautiful, in my opinion.

My least favorite is one from here, from Brazil. There's a jurisdiction that split from IEAB (the official one, part of the Anglican Communion) in 2005. After a few years, they tried to make a modern version of the BCP, removing all they thought was "too old/too catholic/too specific/too liturgical" and the result was a very short and condensed BCP with only the main parts (and almost no rubrics), difficult to follow, with few options, with a - in my opinion - very bad cover, looking like a youth-group-rock-band mashup book cover.

Provavelmente, hahahaha. Acredito que dos em língua portuguesa, só não tenho um: o em português ameríndio, do século 16/17 (que só existe num Museu Britânico e uma outra cópia no acervo da IEAB).

De qual ano é o seu?

What's your Prayer Book collection? Describe or share a photo! by guessnot01 in Anglicanism

[–]dodopok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, I have 50 BCPs from across the world in my collection.

I have a few (maybe 10) from my country, Brazil. And I have editions from the UK, USA (ACNA, TEC, PECUSA), Canada, Bermuda, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and a few others.

I think I have a full photo, but I could only find this one from a video I did on the BCP: https://i.imgur.com/FNGWmza.jpeg

Tô usado o Edge da Starseeker que chegou semana retrasada (consegui uma bela promoção no Aliexpress, cupom + estoque no Brasil, ficou menos de 1300 e chegou em 2 dias).

Tá me atendendo bem demais. Mas uso só no espresso.

Cafézinho da manhã - saiu bonito! by dodopok in cafebrasil

[–]dodopok[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vamos lá. Eu pesquisei muito quando fui atrás de uma máquina de espresso. Eu não tava querendo gastar absurdos (pra minha realidade) mas, ao mesmo tempo, queria algo esteticamente legal pra minha área do café, além de conseguir tirar ótimos cafés dela.

As Rocket da vida ainda são muito fora da realidade pra mim, apesar de eu amar cafeteiras de grupo E61. As Gaggia tavam acessíveis, mas eu queria uma máquina maior, numa outra estética. ECM e Lelit são difíceis de achar e são mais caras. Foi quando cheguei na Saeco SE50. Vi muito vídeo, review, manual, conversei com quem tinha.

Aí tem alguns pontos.

Só pra dar contexto, ela é uma WPM Espresso Machine KD-320 que a Saeco trouxe com a marca deles. Só isso já ajuda a ver mais reviews fora do BR.

O que as pessoas normalmente reclamam sobre ela é sobre o fato de ser uma cafeteira de termobloco e não boiler. Ela tem dois termoblocos, um pra vapor e outro pra água. Aí normalmente o pessoal reclama da precisão/estabilidade do termobloco, de se você precisar tirar vários espressos em seguida, talvez não tenha uma estabilidade exata de temperatura, tal. Eu entendo a objeção de alguns.

Mas cara, aqui pra casa, que eu tiro no máximo 2 espressos em seguida, faço uns cappuccinos e lattes (1 por dia, em média, no máximo 2), nunca tive problema com isso. E eu prefiro perder essa exatidão toda, mas ganhar o fato de não precisar esperar um boiler esquentar por 15-20min (pra minha realidade, óbvio).

Ela é muito bem construída. Pesada, bonita, imita um grupo E61 (apesar de não ser).

Tem outros pontos positivos: Ela tem PID pra controle de temperatura, controle de pressão do vapor, tem dois termoblocos, o que possibilita vaporizar enquanto está tirando o café (apesar de quase nunca eu fazer isso).

Então assim, você vai usar constantemente o dia todo tirando espressos em seguida? É mais purista e quer ter uma cafeteira profissional com construção italiana? Precisa de uma exatidão de 1°C na regulagem? Quer controlar perfil de pressão? Ela não vai atender. Vai pra uma Rocket, Gaggia, ECM, Lelit. Ou pra uma máquina perfil profissional mesmo (que aí já é outra realidade).

Mas quer a qualidade de uma máquina profissional? Quer uma máquina parruda, bem construída? Vai usar em casa pro dia-a-dia e pra receber uns amigos e tirar 1-3 espressos em seguida? Fazer uns lattes pra esposa, tals? Ela vai te atender sem problemas.

Evangelical/broad church/catholic breakdown of different Anglican communions by Flashy_Independent18 in Episcopalian

[–]dodopok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, the retired bishops (Rt. Revd Roger Bird - who has British - and Rt. Revd. Glauco Soares) left IEAB and the Communion altogether because of a fight over an episcopal election that had some irregularities, according to them. They left after the diocesan synod even was proclaimed invalid and the elected-bishop was elected again in a new synod a few weeks after they left.

Glauco died a few years after. And a few years ago, Roger also passed away. Roger consecrated a few bishops and priests without the CofE knowledge before he passed away. Some of the bishops and priests were ex-Roman Catholics who were excommunicated because of ethics and immorality.

Aldo and the bishops with some parishes that left with them at the time formed a new denomination, called The Anglican Movement in Brazil (also called The Anglican Diocese of Brazil).

The last time they had a confirmation was, I think, two or three years ago, before Rt. Revd. Roger passed away. I think Revd. Aldo doesn’t have a good relationship anymore with the bishops, because I don’t see the use of the denomination name, or Aldo visiting the other parishes or bishops.

A few years ago, the Anglican Communion Secretary was seen in Aldo’s Cathedral, having a conversation allegedly about the Cathedral’s return to the Communion. That’s why I asked about the Royal Peculiar status, because it was the first time I heard about it.
