The Society is accepting donations of altar goods such as crosses/crucifixes, candlesticks, vases, fair linens, communion linens, and similar items for use on or around the altar. Your donated items will be supplied to missions that have requested assistance with these materials.

If your parish is purchasing new items, please consider donating your old serviceable items to the Society so that they may continue to be used for sacred purposes. Individuals may also donate and will receive contribution receipts.

To offer your items for donation, please call or email the Society today.

Father Daniel Sparks, president of the Anglican Bible and Book Society, has announced a book collection drive to benefit the United Episcopal Church of North America (UECNA). Fr. Sparks requests that UECNA parishes having an excess of Bibles, Prayer Books, and Hymnals consider donating these resources to the Society. In turn, the Society will ensure that they are distributed to UEC parishes and missions that are in need. Likewise, excess vestments and church supplies may be donated.

The Society has set a goal of collecting 100 Bibles, Prayer Books, and Hymnals for distribution to missions and parishes at the UEC General Convention in October 2008.

Individual contributions of goods or financial support are tax deductible as allowed by law.

The Anglican Bible and Book Society is considering the publication of several classic Anglican titles that are currently out of print. The Publications Committee receives and makes selections of titles for reprint. In an effort to solicit public input on some titles currently under consideration, polls have been placed on the Society website.

Please view the polls listed on the Society website, and cast your vote. Your participation in this forum will allow the Publications Committee to gauge public interest in the titles.

Additionally, the Publications Committee accepts recommendations for reprint publications from any traditional Anglican group or individual. To submit your recommendation, email the Society with the author’s name and title of the work. If possible, also include information on obtaining a suitable copy of the text.

Anglican Parishes Association (APA) has available a booklet entitled Some Notes on the Conduct of Public Worship, first published in 1988. The instructional guide was written by the late Bishop William Lewis of the Anglican Catholic Church. Included in the book are sections on the public recitation of the Daily Office and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist–with illustrations and instructional notes parallel with the Holy Communion service from the Book of Common Prayer.

This is an excellent resource for candidates for ordination, for the priest who needs to refresh, or for the individual who wishes to learn more about the form of the traditional Anglican services. It is available at a very economical price of $7.50 from APA.
