(3) Amend directions entitled CONCERNING THE

SERVICE OF THE CHURCH, page vii, so as to read as follows:

The Order for the Celebration of the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion, the Order for Morning Prayer, the Order for Evening Prayer, and the Litany, as set forth in this Book, are the regular Services appointed for Public Worship in this Church, and shall be used accordingly; Provided, that in addition to these Services the Minister, in his discretion, subject to the direction of the Ordinary, may use other devotions taken from this Book or from any Book set forth by the authority of this Church or from Holy Scripture; and Provided further, that, subject to the direction of the Ordinary, in Mission Churches or Chapels, and when expressly authorized by the Ordinary in Cathedral or Parish Churches or other places, such other devotions as aforesaid may be used when the edification of the Congregation so requires in place of the Order for Morning Prayer or the Order for Evening Prayer.

The Litany may be used either in place of the Prayers that follow the Collect for Grace in the Order for Morning Prayer, or in place of the Prayers that follow the Collect for Aid against Perils in Evening Prayer, or immediately before the Service for Holy Communion, or it may be used in a separate Service.
