   The Book of Alternative Services (BAS) and supplementary resources are
   now available for download. In 2009, the Council of General Synod
   authorized the online publication of these texts. The goals are to
   assist liturgy planners and to encourage future web-based work of
   liturgical text development. For more information, email Eileen Scully,
   Director, Faith, Worship, and Ministry.

   Please click here for liturgical texts for trial use and evaluation.

   Hard copies of liturgical texts can be purchased through the Anglican
   Book Centre/Augburg Fortress.

   Texts in PDF format:
     * The Book of Alternative Services, despite its name “alternative,”
       has become the primary worship text for Sunday services and other
       major liturgical celebrations of the Anglican Church of Canada.
       2010 marks the 25th anniversary of its publication. *This PDF
       includes the addition to the Baptismal Covenant requested
       in resolution C001 of Joint Assembly 2013.
     * Make Preparation: Liturgy Planning Notes.  Author Paul Gibson,
       as liturgical officer of the Anglican Church of Canada, contributed
       significantly to the development of the Book of Alternative
       Services and Common Praise.
     * For All the Saints is a resource to accompany the Calendar of Holy
       Persons in the BAS. It includes propers for memorials,
       commemorations, and saints’ days, along with biographical
       information and primary source readings.
     * Occasional Celebrations is a collection of resources for certain
       pastoral and seasonal occasional services, including additional
       funeral rites, celebrations of new ministries, and home blessing
       rites.
     * Supplementary Eucharistic Prayers, Services of the Word, and Night
       Prayer is the most substantial addition to the BAS. Authorized by
       General Synod in 2001, it contains additional rites for Sunday
       services.
     * Public Distribution of Holy Communion by Deacons and Lay People is
       a collection of guidelines and liturgies prepared by the Doctrine
       and Worship Committee of the Anglican Church of Canada. This
       resource provides a temporary solution to the growing need for
       weekly gathering around book and table, word and sacrament, when a
       priest is not available.

     * Liturgy Task Force: New liturgical texts for trial use and
       feedback.
          + Trial Use Collects from Pentecost to the Reign of Christ –
            Year B

     * Certain liturgies from the BAS and supplements have also been
       translated into French.

     * The Book of Common Prayer, 1962 version, is a revision of the 1918
       Canadian Book of Common Prayer.
