Anglican Cycle of Prayer 2006 Takes on a New Form
Episcopal News Service. October 4, 2005 [100405-2-A]
Forward Movement recently announced that beginning January 2006 the Anglican Cycle of Prayer will no longer be published as a book but as a CD-Rom.
Created in 1960, but in book form since 1975, the Anglican Cycle of Prayer has helped facilitate prayer for those throughout the Anglican Communion. The need to change mediums was facilitated by the speed by which information changes.
In place of the traditional book containing the names of all bishops and dioceses of the Anglican Communion, Forward Movement will now print the name of the Anglican diocese to be prayed for each day at the bottom of that day's "Forward Day by Day," beginning with the February/March/April 2006 issue. The cycle for January 2006 will be available as a Word document or pamphlet for order free-of-charge at 800.543.1813 or at http://www.forwardmovement.org/showbook.cfm?prodid=J06ACP
In addition, the latest information on bishops and dioceses, by way of the Anglican Communion Office in London, may be found at their Anglican Cycle of Prayer link on the website.
The full 2006 cycle is available for order as a Word file on a CD - Rom at http://www.forwardmovement.org/showbook.cfm?prodid=ACP06.
For further information call 800.543.1813 or email orders@forwarddaybyday.com.
Forward Movement Publications is an official agency of the national Episcopal Church. Since 1935 they have produced pamphlets, booklets, and books to encourage and nourish people as they grow in their lives of prayer and faith. They are best known for the popular quarterly devotional Forward Day by Day, providing daily meditations based on readings from the Bible appointed by the lectionaries. Forward Day by Day currently appears in five versions and in Spanish.
