We are not redeemed because God makes a separation between sins and sinners but because He became incarnate in His Son so that He might die for unworthy, undeserving, guilty sinners.” He really hated us so much that He would do that for us? Am I the only one who sees something wrong here? <br />Peace and Joy!<br />George A.

This service was introduced in the original Book of Common Prayer (1549) and remains in the official BCP of the Church of England. The Commination service was omitted, however, from the American Book of Common Prayer when the Episcopal Church became independent of the Church of England after the American Revolution. The Commination has never been part of any version of the American Prayer Book.<br /><br />Even in England the Commination service is, I think, quite rarely used. While the 1662 BCP remains, legally, the official liturgy of the Church of England, the Church has developed "alternative services" which have in practice almost entirely displaced the official Prayer Book. None of the "alternative" service books includes the Commination service.Chris Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220498656377282715noreply@blogger.com
