Best Answer

Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote The Book of Common Prayer. He took the procedures from the Roman Catholic Church. He translated the content from The Greek Orthodox Church. And he wrote The Articles of Faith in the back of the book from Calvinism, a Protestant group. A number of other people made revisions. As he took some of his material from other prayer books, no one knows how much was his original work and how much was copied. Still, it is a work in Majestic English and has influenced the development of both Religion and English in the United States and probably throughout the English speaking world.
