Miscellaneous Tables
Taken from the Rubrics of the 1928 BCP

The following tables summarize various rubrics in the 1928 BCP concerning portions of the Liturgy for Morning/Evening Prayer and Holy Communion which change for certain days or seasons. This information is spread throughout the BCP; in "The Order for Morning/Evening Prayer", "The Order for Holy Communion", and the "Collects, Epistles and Gospels". This tabular form allows quick access to the information in the rubrics without having to search through multiple sections of the BCP.
