The [[Anglican Church of Canada]], which until 1955 was known as the Church of England in the Dominion of Canada, or simply the Church of England in Canada, developed its first ''Book of Common Prayer'' separately from the English version in 1918, which received final authorisation from General Synod on 16 April 1922.{{sfn|Armitage|1922|p=}} The [[Book of Common Prayer (1962)|revision of 1959]] was much more substantial, bearing a family relationship to that of the abortive 1928 book in England. The language was conservatively modernised, and additional seasonal material was added. As in England, while many prayers were retained though the structure of the Communion service was altered: a prayer of oblation was added to the eucharistic prayer after the "words of institution", thus reflecting the rejection of Cranmer's theology in liturgical developments across the Anglican Communion. More controversially, the Psalter omitted certain sections, including the entirety of Psalm 58.{{efn|name=According to}} General Synod gave final authorisation to the revision in 1962, to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. A French translation, {{Lang|fr|Le Recueil des Prières de la Communauté Chrétienne}}, was published in 1967.

After a period of experimentation with the publication of various supplements, the ''[[Book of Alternative Services]]'' was published in 1985.

The [[Episcopal Church in the United States of America|Episcopal Church]] separated itself from the Church of England in 1789, the first church in the American colonies having been founded in 1607.{{sfn|Cross|Livingstone|1975}} The first Book of Common Prayer of the new body, approved in 1789, had as its main source the 1662 English book, with significant influence also from the 1764 Scottish Liturgy (see above) which [[Samuel Seabury (1729–1796)|Bishop Seabury]] of Connecticut brought to the US following his consecration in Aberdeen in 1784.

The preface to the 1789 Book of Common Prayer says, "this Church is far from intending to depart from the Church of England in any essential point of doctrine, discipline, or worship ... further than local circumstances require." There were some notable differences. For example, in the Communion service the prayer of consecration follows mainly the Scottish orders derived from 1549{{Sfn|Shepherd|1965|loc=82}} and found in the 1764 Book of Common Prayer. The compilers also used other materials derived from ancient liturgies especially Eastern Orthodox ones such as the Liturgy of St. James.{{sfn|Shepherd|1965|loc=82}} An [[epiclesis]] or invocation of the Holy Spirit in the eucharistic prayer was included, as in the Scottish book, though modified to meet reformist objections. Overall however, the book was modelled on the English Prayer Book, the Convention having resisted attempts at more radical deletion and revision.{{sfn|McGarvey|Gibson|1907}}

The [[Prayer Book Cross]] was erected in [[San Francisco]]'s [[Golden Gate Park]] in 1894 as a gift from the [[Church of England]].{{efn|A picture of the Prayer Book Cross can be seen at {{cite web|url=http://www.lightight.com/GGP/mem_images/Mem3P02.html |title=Prayer Book Cross |access-date=21 January 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050211102722/http://www.lightight.com/GGP/mem_images/Mem3P02.html |archive-date=11 February 2005 }}  }} Created by [[Ernest Coxhead]], it stands on one of the higher points in Golden Gate Park.
