A Call for Liturgical Resources  

On September 7, 1959 a meeting of The General Synod of The Anglican Church of Canada created The Primate’s World Relief Fund.  

We invite you to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of this date by creating prayers that will be used across the country in local parishes on a date and in a manner determined by them. We are looking for prayers that reflect a variety of theologies and writing styles. A selection of materials received will be made available online at www.pwrdf50.org and www.pwrdf.org.

 For inspiration we ask you to review the Mission and Vision of PWRDF found below and the story of the Springhill Mine disaster “Born out of Tragedy”. This event was the catalyst for the creation of PWRF. You may also consult our websites for more inspiration. The prayers will be used at the discretion of local parishes and may be used on any Sunday in September or October (readings found on reverse).

 We want to provide the following elements of worship (as found on pages 398 to 431 of The Book of Alternative Services and The Collects Epistles and Gospels section of The Book of Common Prayer): Sentence, Collect, Prayer over the Gifts, Prayer after Communion

You may choose to write a full set or simply one prayer.

 In addition to this we would like Prayers of the People (litanies page 110 to 128 of The Book of Alternative Services or The Prayers and Thanksgivings upon several occasions section of The Book of Common Prayer)

 Please forward your submissions by August 12, 2009 to:
