My diocesan bishop discourages use of the 1928 BCP even though parishioners and some priests have requested it. I have to travel an hour to another diocese to a church that uses it. Does anyone out there know of an Episcopal parish (not Anglican or other branch) that uses the 1928 Prayer Book? — Tom C.

We use the 1928 BCP for all of our worship services at Emmanuel United Anglican Church, in Waco, TX.
I joined TEC last year leaving the Roman Catholic Church with my wife. It now seems I have stepped out of the frying pan and into the fire. A major change in TEC doctrine (about to take place) has me wondering if I made the right move. I am not well versed in TEC doctrine but I read what I can when I can. .Gays and lesbians, like it or not, are in all religions. It’s a fact of life. Do I want them leading my church? I think not. Till now I really thought I made the right move;;;;;;;but, the jury is still out and I will take a wait and see attitude. I know I am not alone here. Gay marriage, a whole new ballgame. I still believe God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve.
St. John’s Episcopal Church of Detroit (my parish) uses the 1928 Prayer Book on Sundays and the Anglican Missal on weekdays.
Redeemer Church, Southfield (also ECUSA) also uses the 1928 Prayer Book at her services.
Mariners’ Church of Detroit (not ECUSA but an independent Anglican parish) uses the 1928 Prayer Book.
St. Philip the Evangelist Anglican Church in Charlotte, NC is a 1928 BCP parish. Our jurisdiction, founded in 1964 has always used the 1928 BCP.
Holy Communion is at 11 am every Sunday, I hope to see you there!
Yes, it is (re)named Trinity Wall Street. The architecture and grounds are beautiful and historic (I know I’m stating the obvious), and I was impressed with the way they require visitors to remove their hats and “behave” while inside. They also have many assets (is it wrong to mention this?). It’s too bad they strayed.
I spoke with one member at the bookshop the last time I was there, and he was disturbed (to say it nicely) that Trinity changed the seating scheme in St. Paul’s Chapel from standard pews to chairs (or folding chairs) all facing the center of the chapel.
This whole movement away from tradition and true reverence (and Truth) seems to be a result of the childish nature of the baby boom generation, an entitlement to self-satisfaction, self-righteousness and self-centeredness. (Of course, not all baby boomer individuals, but the generation as a whole seems like this, to me.)
Anyway, that’s my ramble. Thank you for what you are doing, and thank you for taking the back page ad in the Downtown Express.

If any visitors to this website are ever in Thomasville or Savannah, please be sure to attend a 1928 church. It will be an uplifting experience.
I don’t think the traditional 1928 Book of Common Prayer fits in with Trinity’s trendy look. Trinity used to be a traditional parish but that has changed. In fact, I think they’ve changed their name from Trinity Church, Wall Street to Trinity Wall Street. A conservative Episcopalian we know used to attend Trinity regularly, but he was made unwelcome. So much for the vaunted “inclusiveness” of the Episcopal Church.
Does Trinity Church at Wall Street use the 1928 BCP? (Probably not.) The two times I visited, I could not tell. Thank you.
All Saints Episcopal Church in Thomasville Georgia, and St. John’s in Savannah, are churches within the Diocese of Georgia, that use exclusively the 1928 Prayer Book.

I live near Del Rio, TX, and the only Episcopal church here is from the TEC, and, of course, uses the 1979. Since I consider myself out of communion with TEC, I have no place to worship other than my home, where I use the 1928.
St. Clement’s in Berkeley CA uses 1928 for 8:00 Holy Communion, and 1979 Rite 1 for 10:00. Current lectionary.
I am told that a few Anglo-Catholic parishes in England still use the Latin Mass. However, I never found one of them during the two years that I lived there.
A few churches on Long Island and in Manhattan use the 1928 BCP. Contact tcranmer@etf1928.org for details.
