Union Prayer Book


Resolution Adopted by the CCAR

UNION PRAYER BOOK

Digests of resolutions adopted by the

Central Conference of American Rabbis

between 1889 and 1974

1. We resolve that the Liturgy Committee of the Conference be mandated to

prepare

proper instruments for undertaking to determine the attitudes of both members

of

the CCAR and a representative sampling of our congregants about every possible

aspect

of the Union Prayer Book, both Volume I and Volume II, affording a maximum

opportunity for

critique of the current texts and for recommendations with regard to

revisions. It

is urged that the results of these investigations be communicated in suitable

form

to the entire membership of the CCAR, in addition to serving as guidance when

the decision

is made to begin the preparation of new prayer books. (1965, p. 120)
