Scripture holds a central place in Anglican life. It is named first in the Lambeth Quadrilateral as “containing all things necessary to salvation” and as the ultimate standard against which Anglican doctrine is tested. In practice, this shapes both corporate worship and personal devotion.
In corporate worship, most Anglican churches follow a lectionary — a set cycle of Bible readings appointed for each Sunday and holy day, shared across much of the Communion, so that congregations move through large portions of Scripture together over a three-year cycle.
For personal reading, many Anglicans use the same lectionary at home, alongside the Daily Office readings set out in the Book of Common Prayer, so that private and corporate Scripture reading reinforce one another. Common English translations used in Anglican contexts include the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) and the English Standard Version (ESV), though provinces and parishes vary in which they prefer.
A list of local Bible study groups and reading plans will be added here once the council has real groups to list.
