Other Material

An Anglican Liturgical Library contains much useful material, including texts from Common Worship, together with Celebrating Common Prayer, and links to Anglican and other liturgical material available on the internet.

The Church of England has published the definitive texts of its authorised liturgical material at its Common Worship website.

Simon Kershaw has compiled an unofficial calendar of holy people associated with the Diocese of Ely called Singing the Song, including collects, readings and biographical notes.
