Book of Common Prayer Overview
Common Prayer helps today’s diverse church pray together across traditions and denominations with morning, midday, and evening prayers for every day of the year.
Liturgy comes to life as you tap on song titles in the Common Prayer app and sing along with the new monastic Rutba House community of Durham, North Carolina.
Ultimately, Common Prayer makes liturgy dance, taking the best of the old and bringing new life to it with a fresh fingerprint for the contemporary renewal of the church.
Churches and individuals who are familiar with with Shane Claiborne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove will enjoy a video in which the two of them introduce this app and invite users to pray along with them, the communities, and New Monastics around the world.
With an ear to the particulars of how various liturgical traditions pray, this app offers a tapestry of prayer that celebrates the best of many traditions.
Following the 12 Marks of New Monasticism, this app also offers guidance for putting faith into action each month, complete with links to further reading that will deepen your understanding of how God is at work in the world.

Love this app
So happy to get this app back on my iPhone. It was off the App Store for a while and I couldn’t get on my iPhone after having to restore it. I’m young and was able to grow up in going to modern megachurches most of my youth. As I’ve gotten a little older (mid 20s) I’ve started to fall in love of the tradition of mainline Christianity. Having the Common Book of Prayer always on me is wonderful. This app is no frills. It does what it says it does and that’s it. No extra fussing around. I love it.

Nothing Common About This App!
I have used this app for so many years and still find myself being challenged by the content. The prayers have guided me to stop and pray during the day, and help me to focus my heart each morning. The afternoon and evening prayers bring me peace in the repetition of the liturgy. Thank you so much for creating and supporting this technological “Paraclete” that encourages me as I lead a congregation. — Rev Paula Steinbacher

Reminder built in
My favorite part of this app is I can set a reminder for morning midday and evening. Everything is set up for these readings. I LOVE "pass the peace". It is teaching my children to embrace one another and to respond to scripture and in prayer. History and saints' writings included. Love it! Wish it were available for iPad, and that my friends could get it on their platforms.
