Continuing some notes on the language of the liturgy from last week:
Rev. Robert Crouse offers this insight:
The English Reformers took the traditional monastic offices, and sought to make them the work of the whole Christian people, the common prayer of the whole Church [..] And they cast the liturgy into a language which the people in general could understand. It was not exactly the common language of their own day; that is to say, the images are not those peculiar to, or characteristic of their own particular place and generation: they are fundamentally the images of Scripture, the language of divine revelation. It was a liturgical language, which, by its constant repetition, would shape the language, the imagination and the thought of its users. And it is, indeed, that liturgical language and devotional practice which have formed the tradition of spirituality which is one of the chief glories of Anglicanism.
