Finding Your Way Around the Page
Each office is set out as the BCP prints it. The office’s name, its rite and the day come first. Then the office itself begins, in order, from the opening sentence to the end.
As you read, you’ll notice a few things:
- Directions are printed in red, as the BCP prints them. They tell you what is done, not what is said.
- Each part shows its page in the BCP, so you can follow along in your own copy.
- A small red i beside a heading opens a short note on that part of the office: where it comes from, and why it stands where it does.
