====Canada==== {{main|Book of Common Prayer (1962)}} 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.
