Description
Summary:Long and Gambrel talk about the revised marriage rite in the 2018 Book of Common Worship (BCW). The marriage rite is one of the most significantly revised liturgies in the 2018 BCW. It builds on the service in the 1993 book, which was considered forward-thinking for its time. Additional services related to marriage include a Spanish-language service that adheres to the practices of Spanish-speaking Presbyterian congregations in the US, a brief reaffirmation of marriage vows that may be used during the Service for the Lord's Day or at a separate occasion, and a service called "Prayer at the End of a Marriage."
