'''The Divine Liturgy of St. Tikhon''' is one of the liturgies authorized for use by the [[AOCA|Antiochian]] [[Western Rite Vicariate]] (AWRV). It is authorized for use in the AWRV in two forms—that of the ''Orthodox Missal'' , and that of has similarities with the ''Saint Andrew's Service Book''of Common Prayer.
==Origins of the Rite==
When St [[Tikhon of Moscow|Tikhon]] was the ruling bishop of the American diocese of the [[Church of Russia]], some Episcopalians, wishing to become Orthodox, asked [[Bishop]] Tikhon whether they might be allowed to continue to use the 1892 American ''Book of Common Prayer''. After Bp Tikhon sent this BCP to Moscow, a commission was appointed to examine the use of this book within the Orthodox Church; the final report of this commission addressed the changes that would need to be made in the BCP to make it suitable for Orthodox worship, and the Holy Synod noted in its Observations that the specifics of this rite "can be carried out only on the spot in America," and fount it "desirable to send the 'Observations' themselves to the Right Rev. Tikhon, the American Bishop". However, this was not to occur. The Episcopalians who had petitioned St Tikhon withdrew their petition, and St Tikhon did not receive any Episcopalians before returning to Russia in 1907. At this point, neither the Holy Synod of the Church of Russia, nor St Tikhon, had approved the rite. In the 1970s, however, the Liturgy of St Tikhon was produced in the 1970's for use by Episcopalians who wished to convert to Orthodoxy but retain the liturgy to which they were accustomed. The text of the [[liturgy]], therefore, is based upon the Episcopal Church's 1928 ''Book of Common Prayer'', along with which was then adapted by Father [[Joseph Angwin]] for Orthodox use, following the Observations on the 1892 Book. To do this, the Liturgy included certain features of the [[Mass ]] of the Catholic Church prior to its reform after the Second Vatican Council, as well along with certain modifications to make it conform to Orthodox theology and practice practise (such as including a strengthened [[epiclesis]], and the omission restoration of the original [[filioqueNicene-Constantinopolitan Creed]] from by removing the [[Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creedfilioque]]). The adaptation  At present, the Liturgy of St Tikhon of Moscow is celebrated in the rite was the work of Father Joseph Angwin. The naming Church of Antioch (in the liturgy after [[Tikhon Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of MoscowNorth America|St Tikhon the Enlightener Archdiocese of North America]] is based upon events that occurred when St Tikhon was and the ruling bishop [[Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand and the American diocese Philippines|Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand and the [[Church of RussiaPhilippines]]). Some Episcopalians who wished to become The Russian Orthodox asked [[Bishop]] Tikhon whether they might be allowed to continue to use their Anglican liturgy Church Outside Russia has approved a service with many similarities (that of under the American 1892 ''Book of Common Prayername 'The English Liturgy'). He sent the BCP to Moscow, where a commission was appointed to examine they issue. The final report addressed as have the changes that would need to be made in the BCP in order to make it suitable for Orthodox worship, but neither the Commission nor Bishop Tikhon approved a rite. Some Patriarchates of these recommendations were implemented by the [[Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese Church of North AmericaAlexandria|Alexandria]]. ROCOR has since implemented some {{citation}} and [[Church of them, as well. Hierarchs in the Antiochian, Alexandrian, and Russia|Moscow Patriarchates, as well as ROCOR, have approved a form of this liturgy]].
