Description

Hong Kong's Orthodox parish of Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox published a new edition of a new Chinese-language prayer book. 1,000 copies will be distributed among the faithful of the Orthodox Church in China with the support of the Orthodox Christians of the Russian Orthodox Church, who took part in raising funds for this project.

The prayer book's contents have been expanded from the previous edition. In addition to morning and evening prayers without the Divine Liturgy, the new prayer book contains prayers read for different needs and circumstances, as well as Canons to the Saviour, the Mother of God, the Guardian Angel, Instructions for Holy Communion, and thanksgiving prayers for Communion, and an Akathist to the Mother of God.

The Chinese text used in this prayer book is based on the online Chinese Orthodox Daily Prayer Book available at http://www.orthodox.cn/liturgical/prayerbook/daily/

OFASC Theological Review

This prayer book now follows the more common Chinese proper name convention to better assist those coming from Chinese Protestant and academic background.
