[ACNS source: Convocation of American Churches in Europe] The Convocation of American Churches in Europe is delighted to announce the release of Spanish-English and French-English editions of their bilingual prayer book, Selected Liturgies from the Book of Common Prayer.

Like the Italian-English version first published by St James Church (Florence) in 1999, the Spanish and French editions include the following liturgies, with facing text in English:

Each edition also includes an appendix of selected psalms, prayers and thanksgivings.

Cloth-bound with a ribbon bookmark and 384 pages long, the bilingual editions are paginated and formatted to correspond with the Church Hymnal Corporation’s 1979 standard Book of Common Prayer. Individual copies are available for a donation of US$25, which includes book rate shipping and handling charges. A limited number of leather-bound copies are available for a total donation of US$50 each. A 10% discount will apply to orders of five or more copies, and a special parish rate is available for bulk orders.

For more information or to request copies of any of the bilingual editions, please contact:

Eventual proceeds from the sale of the books will be forwarded to the Convocation and used to finance the German-English Prayer Book - due to be available in late 2004 - defray printing costs, set aside for future reprints or used to permit complimentary distribution.
