Christ Church Episcopal Links
The Christ Church Episcopal Hudson Links Page captures some of the many available on-line sources of information about the forms and practices of worship of the Episcopal Church, the wider Anglican community, and, when called for, issues of the day in which either the larger church or members of Christ Church have an interest.
The Bible ~
Here are three translations of the Bible, each in their entirety available for reading and searching on-line.
The Episcopal Lectionary ~
As described by the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA), "a Lectionary is a table of readings from Scripture appointed to be read at public worship. The association of particular texts with specific days began in the 4th century. The Lectionary [1969, revised 1981] developed by the Roman Catholic Church after Vatican II provided for a three-year cycle of Sunday readings. This Roman lectionary provided the basis for lectionary in The Book of Common Prayer 1979 as well as those developed by many other denominations.

The Book of Common Prayer ~
Along with the Hymnal, The Book of Common Prayer, and Administration of the Sacraments, and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church is the other book found in all Eopiscopal churches. The program for any service in the church will refer to Bible passages, Hymnal selections or Book of Common Prayer pages. Here is a link to the complete Book on-line.
