Some Principles of Liturgical Reform Walter Howard Frere

Excerpt from the book:


The suggestions which are contained in this book deal for the most part with broad liturgical principles and with the general procedure of Prayer Book Revision, rather than with details. In their present form they are the outcome of several sets of recent lectures on the subject given to different audiences; but in a sense a longer history lies behind them. Nearly a quarter of a century has passed since, as a theological student, I became convinced that the problem of Prayer Book Revision was one that must before long occupy the attention of the Church. The subject fascinated me, and liturgical study became an occupation which I have tried to pursue, however intermittently, ever since.
