SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
One of the most controversial theological issues of the liturgy during the English reformations of the sixteenth century was oblation. While the Eucharistic Prayer proper has often been the site of this theological controversy, the offertory rite has also received great attention. The 1552 English Book of Common Prayer excised all references to oblation in the offertory rite, but oblationary language and actions, such as the offertory procession, returned in full force by the twentieth century. The movement from the near elimination of oblation in the offertory rite to its widespread usage in the churches of the Anglican Communion is a remarkable liturgical and theological development.
