'The Book of Common Prayer' is a vital religious text that has been used by the Church of England for centuries. The Episcopal Church in Scotland adopted its own version in 1912, featuring the Scottish Communion Office and other minor additions and deviations from the English version. This edition replaced earlier Scottish parishes' use of the English version. The text includes the Psalms of David, prayers for the administration of the sacraments and other rites, and guidance on the making, ordaining, and consecration of bishops, priests, and deacons. This important historical document is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of liturgy in religious practice.

Throughout history we have told ourselves stories to try and make sense of our place in the universe. Richard Holloway takes us on a personal, scientific and philosophical journey to explore what he believes the answers to the biggest of questions are. He examines what we know about the universe into which we are propelled at birth and from which we are expelled at death, the stories we have told about where we come from, and the stories we tell to get through this muddling experience of life. Thought-provoking, revelatory, compassionate and playful, Stories We Tell Ourselves is a personal reckoning with life’s mysteries by one of the most important and beloved thinkers of our time.
