<P> The Book of Common Prayer ( BCP ) , originally The boke of the common praier and administracion of the sacramentes : and other rites and ceremonies of the Churche : after the use of the Churche of Englande , is the short title of a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion , as well as by the Continuing Anglican , `` Anglican realignment '' and other Anglican Christian churches . The original book , published in 1549 in the reign of Edward VI , was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome . Prayer books , unlike books of prayers , contain the words of structured ( or liturgical ) services of worship . The work of 1549 was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English . It contained Morning Prayer , Evening Prayer , the Litany , and Holy Communion and also the occasional services in full : the orders for Baptism , Confirmation , Marriage , `` prayers to be said with the sick '' , and a funeral service . It also set out in full the `` propers '' ( that is the parts of the service which varied week by week or , at times , daily throughout the Church 's Year ) : the collects and the epistle and gospel readings for the Sunday Communion Service . Old Testament and New Testament readings for daily prayer were specified in tabular format as were the Psalms ; and canticles , mostly biblical , that were provided to be said or sung between the readings ( Careless 2003 , p. 26 ) . </P>
