Apologia Anglicana Publications
At Apologia Anglicana, we seek to serve the Church by publishing books for the greater use of the English Rite of Holy Orthodoxy. We are currently working on three projects, soon to be made available for purchase. We encourage you to consider these for your growth in the spiritual life.
The Book of Common Prayer
The Book of Common Prayer is the central text and prayer book of the English Rite. It forms the structure for the Christian’s daily life in Christ. And as one prays with it, he enters into the life of the Church, being formed and taught by Christ.
This Book of Common Prayer was been proposed for use in the Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate, and it is currently in its ‘testing’ phase. Many within the Vicariate use and cherish this book.
A date for its official publication will be announced within the next few years. In the meantime, please feel free to look at the contents on the GitHub page.

The Book of Common Prayer: The Office
While we await the full publication of the Book of Common Prayer, the sections pertinent to praying the Office has been collected into its own Office Book. It contains the Daily Office, the Collects for the Red Letter Days, and the Psalter.
It will be available for sale by August 2025, hopefully sooner.
The Prayer Book Hymnal
The Book of Common Prayers contains the propers for the major Feast Days. However, there remains a need for a resource containing the propers for the minor Feast Days, as well as the antiphons and hymns for the major Feast Days. The Prayer Book Hymnal, a supplement to the Book of Common Prayer, serves this purpose. It also contains commonly used devotional hymns for congregational use. This is a great option for smaller parishes and missions, or simply for one’s own personal use, since it contains everything one may need for services throughout the year.
It will be published and available for sale on the Feast of All Hallows 2025, just in time to receive it by the First Sunday of Advent 2025. In the meantime, please feel free to look at its contents on its GitHub page. (Please note that it is still in development, and changes will regularly be made until October 2025.)
