‘I believe there is no liturgy in the world, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of a solid, scriptural, rational piety than the Common Prayer of the Church of England.’John Wesley

‘The finest sight short of heaven would be a whole congregation using the prayers of the Liturgy in the true spirit of them.’

If all men could pray at all times as some men can sometimes, then indeed we might prefer extempore to precomposed prayers.’Charles Simeon
