The Associated Parishes for Liturgy and Mission was founded in 1946 by John Patterson, Massey Shepherd, Samuel E. West, and John H. Keene. They and other priests began to use their parishes as laboratories for the liturgical movement in the Episcopal Church. Their first goal was to restore the eucharist as the main service on Sunday. Since the adoption of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer , APLM has broadened its activities to include the renewal of the diaconate and the catechumenate, and the use of inclusive language. It has continued to publish brochures on matters of worship and the quarterly journal Open.
