The 1928 Book of Common Prayer was placed into service with the intent that it would help bring those who used it into closer contact with God and encourage them to delve further into Scripture as their souls matured.
Many key people in our country's history were serious users of the Book of Common Prayer, from George Washington, to US Grant, to both Presidents Roosevelt, to George Patton, to Douglas McArthur to George Marshall.
General of the Army George Catlett Marshall (1880–1959), probably the most humble and brilliant military man in this country's history was a lifelong and active member of what was then the Protestant Episcopal Church of America, whose mantle the AOC has assumed. He was taken with the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. You should read this essay to see why: The 1928 Book of Common Prayer: An Appreciation.
