NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Integrity Publishing announces the forthcoming publication of The Anglican Gradual, available by subscription in time for use in Advent 1976.

This work is a loose-leaf supplement, in both traditional and contemporary language, to the altar edition of The Holy Eucharist. It contains not only the Collect and the lesson citations from the Draft Proposed Book of Common Prayer, but also the text of the Introit, Gradual, Alleluia or Tract, Offertory and Communion -- ordered in accordance with the revised Church Year -- for each proper. The use of these traditional anthems is permitted by the rubrics of the Draft Book, but this has required carrying several other books to the altar.The Anglican Gradual provides all propers for a given day on sheets which can be inserted into the loose-leaf altar service book, The Anglican Gradual does not duplicate, but supplements and conforms to the work of the Standing Liturgical Commission.

The Anglican Gradual will be published in installments over two years. The pre-publication price for the first year will be $20.00, and will include all Sundays and major feasts, pastoral offices, major votives, and the Common of Saints. The second year will offer the material for Lesser Feasts and Fasts and the weekdays of Lent.

To order now at the pre-publication price, write: Integrity Publishing, 300 West 10th Street, New York, N. Y. 10014.
