Our liturgy both shapes and reflects who we are as Christians, and, as such, it is desirable that it reflect the common features of our Anglican identity. Consistency in liturgy across our diocese, particularly on Sunday mornings, roots us firmly in a shared spiritual tradition. Such consistency provides a solid foundation from which to seek ongoing liturgical renewal.
At their ordination, every bishop, priest, and deacon declare they “do solemnly promise to conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Anglican Church of Canada.” The following directions and notes are intended to assist clergy in the Diocese of Ottawa in fulfilling this promise by clarifying information and addressing common questions regarding liturgical texts, and to provide guidance for each liturgical season.
Please note the use of any other liturgies or parts of liturgies beyond those specified in these documents requires the written permission of our diocesan Bishop.
