Divine Worship Daily Office of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham 

I'm pleased that beautiful book has found a home and someone to love it.

The Coverdale Psalter is lovely. I am a Catholic who owns this book. It has prompted me both to read the psalms more than I was otherwise inclined to, and has underlined the deficiencies of some other translations. Thank you for your discusion.

Amen! Thank you Dale. God bless.

And the Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross

Somehow, I missed this video when you first released it back in May. Wow! This is an excellent Daily Office from what I can see. I am not much of a fan of the original RSV translation. I thought it was so-so. However, the RSV 2nd Catholic Edition has been improved and is a bit more traditional. I like the RSV2CE better than the ESV. I really like reading the Psalms and Lessons in the Anglican Office Book. However, I really think I would like the DW:DO about as much as the AOB. Thanks for the excellent video. I still don't think I will buy the DW:DO, but it sure looks like the real deal!

My favorite part, always, is the prayer at the end. Just curious, Brother Dale. What do you know of Father Thomas Keating and his Centering Prayer Movement? I’ve ordered his book Intimacy with God. I was just curious whether you have in fact delved into this type of prayer. I’d be surprised if you haven’t, to be honest. Anyway, I hope all is well. Don’t forget to pray for me, Brother Dale.

I just bought this book from a priest on ebay. My guess is he's had to replace what is essentially a brand new book, because of the queen's death and king Charles' coronation.

Hi Dale, thanks for the review. I'd like to better understand which daily office table of lessons is employed in this book. I noticed that Walshingham Publishing's North American Ordinariate presentation of the daily office lessons, called "Daily Readings for Morning and Evening Prayer: Divine Worship North American Edition - RSV-CE", uses what they call the "Table of Lessons revised by order of the Convocations of Canterbury and York and placed into use on the First Sunday in Advent 1962." After reading that and listening to your review, my questions are: 1. Does the commonwealth edition use this same daily office table of lessons as is used in the North American version? 2. Is the Commonwealth or North American table of lessons the same as that found in the 1962 BCP revision of the 1922 BCP which, as far as I understand, is what's used in the Church of England in Canada? 3. You mentioned the Community of the Resurrection and their 1922 lectionary. Is that lectionary the same thing as the 1922 BCP lectionary? It seems to me that a big part of what one would want to know, when committing to a prayer book, the majority of which is built around a particular table of lessons, is where and when that table of lessons came from, and what sort of rationale was behind its design, and in what ways it differs from alternative tables. In mentioning the community of the resurrection, I believe you've said more about the seemingly mysterious origins of the commonwealth daily office table of lessons than anyone else. So thanks for that!

Hi dale

Hello Dale. I have a question for you. If you was going into the literal desert for one year and you could only take one prayer book for the daily office. What would you take .
