Christian heritage under the renewing guidance of the Holy Spirit”. The coalition continued its networking and advocacy over the next decade, producing a book of essays and other literature, and organizing various events. Differing views between those who wished to remain within the Anglican Church of Canada and those who wanted to align with more theologically conservative Anglican provinces in the Global South led in 2005 to the disbanding of the coalition and the formation of two new organizations, the Anglican Communion Alliance and the Anglican Network in Canada, which respectively pursued these two strategies. The PBSC maintained its independent existence during and after this period. In recent years the Society has expanded its efforts with a rebuilt website offering various educational and liturgical resources, a quarterly electronic mailout and an active Facebook page. Beliefs The PBSC affirms the rationale for the BCP which Thomas Cranmer described in the Preface to its first edition in 1549: that the liturgies of the Western church had gradually been corrupted throughout medieval times, and that the Prayer Book restored them to their original biblical purity, while also translating and adapting them so that they could be more accessible to both clergy and laity. Although the Prayer Book is fundamentally a book of worship whose purpose is to provide biblical and traditional structure to public and private prayer, the PBSC believes that the Prayer Book liturgies also teach doctrines, and that these doctrines are relevant to the church today. In addition, the PBSC seeks to promote the Prayer Book as a key element of the “formularies” or constitution of the church, arguing that its creeds, exhortations, rubrics, and other directives (like the obligation of clergy to recite Morning and Evening Prayer daily) having binding canonical force upon Canadian Anglicans. The PBSC as an organization does not endorse a “high church” or “low church” interpretation of the Prayer Book, and has neither supported nor condemned the decision of some Anglicans to form new jurisdictions outside of the Anglican Church of Canada, although individual members are at liberty to maintain their own views.
