Merchant Services





Want to suggest a book, music CD or other item for Anglican Marketplace, or offer other advice on how to make this site better? Let us hear from you!

We at the Prayer Book Society wanted the redesigned Anglican Marketplace to offer a wider selection of trustworthy works and resources for orthodox Anglicans to choose from. And indeed, between books and CDs offered directly by PBS, and those commended by the Society Board and offered through our Associate relationship with Amazon.com, the new Marketplace debuted in the summer of 2010 with four times the listings of its predecessor site.

Yet we know that this is just a start. We realize that much more is needed to round out the selection of works and resources commended on the new
Marketplace, and that we must constantly strive to enhance and update this service with fresh listings. And we know we can't do that all by ourselves; we need your help to make this the comprehensive resource that will truly serve your needs and those of other faithful Anglicans. To that end, the PBS Board will welcome and consider suggestions for additional offerings, or on how to improve this on-line ministry, from Marketplace visitors and patrons.

How to contact us about the Marketplace:

Please direct all suggestions or other comments or questions relating to Anglican Marketplace to prayerbooksoc@aol.com. If you wish to commend a book or music CD that is not currently listed on the Marketplace, please include its full identifying and locating information (e.g. in the case of a book, its full title and author name, and its ISBN number), and a brief description/review (a paragraph or two) of the volume or recording. All suggested books should be compatible with orthodox Anglicanism; books and CDs available from Amazon.com are preferred.

Anglo-Catholic in Religion: T.S. Eliot and Christianity

Most interesting about this volume from the standpoint of the Prayer Book Society is its report of Eliot's strong praise for the Book of Common Prayer. But there is, of course, much more to be drawn from this new book.

"Even in this not-exactly-poetic age, the poetry of T. S. Eliot is quoted in many contexts and continues to work in surprising ways," says one review of this volume on Am...
