Library and Resources
The Ayres Memorial Library in historic Trinity Episcopal Church
is one of Santa Barbara's great quiet places. The library's diverse
collection of books for all ages is maintained by Trinity's Library
Guild.
This group maintains books in our parish library. Volunteers who
enjoy filing and shelving are always welcome, as are volunteers
to select and display books at the Sunday Resource Table.

Book of Common Prayer
The Book of Common Prayer, or BCP, is
the collection of offices, liturgies, and seasons of the Anglican
Church.
The first prayer book, the "1549,"
was authorized in that year by King Edward VI, and Anglicans are
celebrating its 450th
birthday. Currently the 1979
BCP is the official prayer book of the Episcopal Church of the
U.S.A. The previous BCP, the "1928,"
maintains its enthusiasts.
For more on the BCP, see the Catholic
Encyclopedia article,
the Archbishop Justus Society site,
or William S. Peterson's bibliography.
