We hope to have it available soon from Internet stores like Amazon.com.

Description:

The offices for the sick and dying are the forgotten child of the Book
of Common Prayer. The rubric has not been updated since 1549, but much
has changed since then. People go to hospitals and nursing homes instead
of taking to their bed. With longer life spans and modern medicine,
people are living longer and often experience more and longer
hospitalizations.Visitation of the Sick has been shortened to reflect
use in a hospital or nursing home instead of at home. The Reserved
Sacrament is usually preferable when ministering to the sick. The
Communion Service is intended for use by chaplains and parish clergy
during visits to hospitals, nursing homes,and assisted living
facilities. It could also be used outside of chaplaincy. Chaplains have
found that many of those who are dying like to have the Psalms read to
them, so the Psalter has been included from the 1928 BCP (except for
Psalm 23, which is KJV).

The suggested retail price is $30.00, which is just slightly above the
printing cost.
