Today in
Christian History
On this day in 1548 Parliament ordered the publication of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Though Thomas Cranmer is rightly credited with the final form of the BCP, he worked with a committee of scholars, including Reformer Martin Bucer, to shape his famous liturgy. |

It is the case of the Sacrament right. There is place in the taking of it, for noli Me tangere ("touch me not" Christ to St. Mary Magdalene); so is there for affer manum ("reach out" Christ to St. Thomas the Apostle). To them who with St. Thomas, in a feeling of the defect of their faith, or of any other spiritual grace, cast themselves down and cry, 'My Lord, and my God,' affer manum to them; I set them free, I give them a discharge from this noli Me tangere. But for them who are but a Rabboni, and scarce so far, bold guests with Him: base in conceit, and homely in behaviour; to them, and to them properly belongs this noli Me tangere, more properly than ever it did to [St. Mary Magdalene]. And so that point reconciled.
