In the Church of England, those who lead worship are bound to use only those forms of service that are authorized or allowed by the Church of England's canon law. The Church of England has two different but complementary sets of services: the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship.

Common Worship supplements the Book of Common Prayer with services and prayers in diverse styles. Most of the material is in contemporary language, but some of the services are based on those in the Book of Common Prayer, incorporating adaptations and additions that have become customary over the years.
