Core tenet of Anglicanism
Common prayer holds the communion together.
One prayer book, many theologies — unity of worship over uniformity of opinion.
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
The Book of Common Prayer is Anglicanism's real center of gravity: Cranmer's 1549 and 1552 books gave the English church a liturgy in English of extraordinary literary quality, and the phrase "common prayer" is the ecclesiology — unity is located in praying together rather than in a confession or a magisterium. Its language shaped English prose as much as the King James Bible did, and modern revisions have been fought over accordingly.
