Anglican Cycle of Prayer:
The Church of Ireland is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion and traces its origins to the earliest days of Christianity in Ireland. From the fifth century, missionaries such as St Patrick established Christian communities that became known for their scholarship, monastic life and missionary zeal across Europe. During the sixteenth-century Reformation, the church in Ireland was reformed along Anglican lines, retaining its ancient dioceses and cathedrals while adopting reformed theology and worship in the English tradition.
In 1871 the Church of Ireland was disestablished by Act of Parliament and became a self-governing church, ordering its life through a General Synod of bishops, clergy and laity. Today it serves communities across the whole island of Ireland, in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
