The Liturgical Commission

The Liturgical Commission is a permanent Commission of the General Synod of the Church of England. It has a four-fold purpose.

  • to prepare forms of service at the request of the House of Bishops (to be submitted to them in the first instance).
  • to advise on the experimental use of forms of service and the development of liturgy
  • to exchange information and advice on liturgical matters with other Churches both in the Anglican Communion and elsewhere
  • to promote the development and understanding of liturgy and its use in the Church.
