Book of Common Prayer
Iwe Ise ti Egwari Sekiri (1909). Portions of the BCP are now available online in Isekiri, spoken by about 500,000 people in the Niger Delta.
The Niugini Liturgy (1970). 'This diocesan eucharistic liturgy was published seven years before the formal inauguration of the Anglican Church of Papua New Guinea. Many local languages in this province have been used for Anglican liturgical translations, but English serves as a lingua franca. This is the first liturgy prepared for Papua New Guinea that departs from the traditional BCP order in several respects, anticipating changes adopted by some parts of the Anglican Communion later in the decade.
The Niugini Liturgy was prepared and published by the Right Reverend David Hand (1918-2006), whose ministry in New Guinea spanned from 1946 to 2006.'

Worth
Noting
British pray better than Americans: Thus saith George Pitcher in the Telegraph (London). 'We often envy American devotion and commitment to faith. But we may underestimate quiet, prayerful witness, uncontaminated by politics. The psalm says "Be still and know that I am God." A more reserved public prayer life may even be more authentic.'
