 King Charles I of England commissioned William Laud’s Book of Common Prayer. It was Charles’s goal to spread Anglicanism to the Presbyterian Scotland. However, many Scottish citizens refused to accept such an attempt. The Scottish eventually adopted the Common Prayer book, but revised it in a fashion to suit their own beliefs structures. One change made was the insertion of biblical texts from the King James Bible. Other important changes were also made to the prayer book alongside that major addition. This book served as a source of international and cross-cultural religious sources and it encouraged literacy among all people.
