Resolution 27

In any revision of the Book of Common Prayer which may hereafter be undertaken by competent authority the following principles should be held in view:

1. the adaptation of rubrics in a large number of cases to present customs as generally accepted;
2. the omission of parts of the services to obviate repetition or redundancy;
3. the framing of additions to the present services in the way of enrichment;
4. the fuller provision of alternatives in our forms of public worship;
5. the provision for greater elasticity in public worship;
6. the change of words obscure or commonly misunderstood;
7. the revision of the Calendar and Tables prefixed to the Book of Common Prayer.
