The Church of Ireland will bring The Book of Common Prayer into the digital age when it launches its Daily Worship app at the General Synod in Armagh on Thursda
Users of the Daily Worship app will have access to Bible readings, prayers, canticles and services from The Book of Common Prayer. These will be available for each day of the year, covering five services: Morning and Evening Daily Prayer, A Late Evening Office, Compline, and Holy Communion.
The Most Rev Pat Storey, chair of the central communications board in the Church, said: "I am delighted to launch this new aid to our devotional life. It is a powerful thing for a community such as the Church of Ireland to be praying together, and using the same daily readings, through the vehicle of a smartphone application.
"This app aims to help us in our personal and communal prayer lives, and to bring us closer together as a church family, and to the God whom we worship."
Daily Worship can be purchased for €1.09/99p on Apple and Android devices from 10th May.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
