The worship of the Diocese of the Central and Western States is grounded in the truth of the Bible as transmitted in the beauty of the Anglican tradition. It is done with reverence and dignity, according to the time-tested Biblical and traditional forms of historic Anglican liturgy, and offers her members a life of prayer rooted in Holy Scripture and the Sacraments.

The Book of Common Prayer as set forth by the Church of England in 1662, together with Ordinal attached to the same, are received as a standard for Anglican doctrine and discipline, and, with the Books which preceded it, as the standard for the Anglican tradition of worship. Other Books of Common Prayer that conform to this standard may be authorized by the Diocesan Bishop.
