BCP is the Book of Common Prayer.
First written in 1549, and following several revisions became the current official Prayer Book of the Church of England in 1662.
It is used not because because of sentimental or nostalgic motivations, but because it agrees with the foundational doctrine of the Church of England and is loved for the beauty of its language.
Its services continue to be widely used as a traditional form of worship.
If you are looking for something more modern, many of our churches have services based on Common Worship which is in contemporary language.

We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing.
