Geoffrey Cuming
Published by Durham University, Cuming's edited version and his research were positively reviewed in The Journal of Theological Studies and Historical Magazine of the Protestant Episcopal Church.[15][16] Dugmore praised A History of Anglican Liturgy as "an authoritative and readable account" and as "an admirable supplement" to both "Procter and Frere" and Frank Edward Brightman's The English Rite.[20] A study of the Liturgy of Saint Mark by Cuming was published posthumously in 1990 in the Pontifical Oriental Institute's Orientalia Christiana Analecta series.Bryan D. Spinks positively reviewed the book for The Journal of Theological Studies, crediting Kenneth Stevenson with pushing Cuming's text through the editorial process.[21] In 1965, while he was the vicar of Humberstone, Cuming was appointed to the Liturgical Commission of the Church of England for his experience as a Book of Common Prayer historian.Cuming's study focussed on 16th- and 17th-century Anglican eucharistic theology to make the case that offering the sacramental elements had long been interpreted in a memorialist fashion.Ultimately, to secure passage in the Liturgical Conference, Jasper proposed the revised form of "with this bread and cup we make the memorial of his saving passion", which was approved by Convocation and published for the Series Two communion office.[7]: 158 In 1982, to coincide with Cuming's 65th birthday, the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge (SCPK) published Liturgy Reshaped on liturgists and liturgical revision.[27] Stevenson edited the volume, commenting in its preface that Cuming and other contemporaneous liturgiologists were not only responsible for researching historical practices but also revising liturgies in the present.[19]: 23–24 Cuming's Agnus Dei, which places Jesus's name at the start of each line, appears in the Alternative Service Book and Common Worship as the second, less traditional translation.Late in life, Geoffrey Cuming was known for his humour and grey beard but his disabilities caused by wartime injury left him increasingly limited in what he could do.A month prior, Cuming had a successful arterial bypass surgery; he had been discussing returning to England with his daughter during the hours preceding his death.
