The Rev W A Knowles, BD, Dalton,

At the Reformation, every service, not the Eucharist alone, became a complete act of devotion, containing all the elements of worship.  The principles sought are based on Holy Scripture, supremely in I Peter and Hebrews.  The primary act is penitence but this should not be too detailed, being corporate, followed by pardon and supplication.  The Psalms have a high place.  Scripture should be read consecutively and a lectionary is desirable.  The crowning act is intercession, although not too detailed nor too long.
