[Sca-cooks] Thanksgiving Thoughts, was: New Thanksgiving Cookbook

[RON CARNEGIE]

   I have here before me a copy of the post restoration prayer book of the 
Church of England.  This is of course well post the SCA period, and is only 
the book of prayer of the English Church.  That being said the book is based 
upon the Roman Catholic Prayer book, whiich is one of the reasons why there 
is a Post Restoration version!  No prayer book was allowed the English 
Church under the Protecterate as it was far to "popish" a custom.  It is one 
of the "sins" the puritans wished to avoid.

  Anyway, this book lists specific prayers for a General Thanksgiving, For 
Rain, For Fair Weather, For Plenty, For Peace and Deliverence from our 
Enemies, For Restoring Publick Peace at Home, For Deliverence from the 
Plague, or Other Common Diseases.  These are all included in the chapter 
entitled Prayers and Thanksgivings.  There are also yearly days of 
Thanksgiving included in their own chapters.  These are all post SCA period, 
but might serve to show the sort of extraordinary things that might call for 
Thansgiving days.  These days are for the failing of Guy Fawkes,and The 
restoration of the Crown to Charles II,  Charles I is also recognized as a 
Martyr.
