Liturgies Approved for Use in The Episcopal Church

https://episcopalmaine.org/resources/liturgies-approved-for-use-in-the-episcopal-church/

On this website, you will find a list of liturgical resources authorized by The Episcopal Church, answers to FAQs about liturgical resources, alternative-liturgies, gender-inclusive language liturgies, and liturgy-related links. This website was conceived of and built by the Task Force on Liturgical and Prayer Book Revision. Resolution 2022 A058 directed the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to take on its oversight and maintenance following the 80th General Convention. This work is just beginning, and this site will develop significantly. We welcome you to seek, to pray, to plan, and to learn.
