Difference Between Rite I and Rite II
Rite I
The Rite I liturgy
in the Episcopal Church is based on the old English language form.
The service is spoken and
it has a contemplative nature where
worshipers can participate through spoken responses and prayers.
There is
presently little to no music at this service.
Rite II
This service is the most festive of the celebratory services held
each Sunday with worshipers joining in the singing of hymns, sung
responses and prayers. It is also the largest gathering and
reflects the diversity of the church family. Rite II liturgy
differs
from Rite I in that the Rite II services date from the current Book
of Common Prayer revised in the 1970’s while Rite I dates back to
the 1600’s. Rite II uses wording that is in contemporary or
every day English. The choir leads the sung portions of the
service which include hymns, a psalm and an offertory anthem.
