Foundational Resources
For Anglican practice at Incarnation, there are three foundational resources. These resources are also essentially free (if you have internet access). Included also are a few suggestions and links to purchase items.
The Bible
We use the ESV Bible for our worship services. Other recommended translations are the NIV, NASB, NLT, NET, CSB, and RSV. Good web sites to sample translations and study the Bible include:
-
bible.org (home of the NET Bible online)
Good places to buy a Bible:
-
Crossway Publishing (for the ESV Bible)
-
Most any book retailer.
The Book of Common Prayer
We use the 2019 Book of Common Prayer for our worship services and also suggest it for personal prayer and devotional use. It is available for a free .pdf online here
https://bcp2019.anglicanchurch.net/
Physical copies of the 2019 Book of Common Prayer are available for purchase through Anglican House Publishers.
Here is a direct link to their selection of prayerbooks.
To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism
Anglican House Publishers also publishes To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism.
