City Of Light Anglican Churchaurora, Illinois

Some Updates to Our Sunday Liturgy Dear City of Light, I want to let you know about some small updates to our Sunday morning liturgy. I was delighted that earlier this year the Anglican Church in North America completed its Spanish translation of the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. We now have copies in English and Spanish available at our Welcome Table or online here. We had been using Spanish translations found in other places or translated ourselves. Now we can update our bulletin and prayers to align with Spanish speakers throughout the province. There will be a few differences, such as: We will now say “El Señor esté con ustedes” instead of “El Señor sea con ustedes.” We will now say “Cristo vendrá de nuevo” instead of “Cristo volverá.” While we update the Spanish, we’re also going to update a few differences in English between our Sunday bulletin and the 2019 prayer book. When something changes in the liturgy, it may feel strange or awkward, we may not prefer it at first, and we will make mistakes
