Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Public Worship The following chapters were originally delivered as the Bohlen Lectures at Philadelphia in January, 1919. Part of their substance was afterwards repeated at S. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, during Lent. That I had thus both American and English audiences in view has helped me greatly in broadening my outlook upon the subject, and will not I hope make these pages less acceptable either to American or English readers. There is considerable difference not only between the rites but also between the customs and traditions of the two Churches; and in this era of Prayer Book revision we English Churchmen have much to learn from the sister Church, which has, with a greater freedom from convention and prejudice, already made considerable alterations in public worship, providing some admirable examples of reform and a few examples also of mistakes to be avoided.
