"It is a most invaluable part of that blessed "liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free," that in his worship different forms and usages may without offence be allowed, provided the substance of the Faith be kept entire; and that, in every Church, what cannot be clearly determined to belong to Doctrine must be referred to Discipline; and therefore, by common consent and authority, may be altered, abridged, enlarged, amended, or otherwise disposed of, as may seem most convenient for the edification of the people, "according to the various exigency of times and occasions."" - Preface, The Draft Proposal Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church According to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America otherwise known as The Episcopal Church Together with the Psalter or Psalms of David
