Anglo-Catholic Devotions
Anglican devotions are private prayers and practices used by Anglican Christians to promote spiritual growth and communion with God. Among members of the Anglican Communion, private devotional habits vary widely, depending on personal preference and on their affiliation with low-church or high-church parishes. Private prayer and Bible reading are probably the most common practices of devout Anglicans outside church. Some base their private prayers on the ''Book of Common Prayer''.
