Description
“The worship of the Christian community, properly understood and done, leads worshipers to act out in their lives the love of God, which is on the heart of our worship. Worship also provides the power and the sustenance which makes this style of living imaginable. This Christian style of living, moreover, drives those people who are committed to it back to the worship of God, to find forgiveness and strength…When this interdependent relationship is understood, the power of worship is illuminated and the power to live increased.” – From the Preface First written in 1979, and out of print for a few years, Liturgy For Living remains a classic text within the field of Anglican/Episcopal liturgy. This highly readable overview explores the meaning of worship from a theological, historical, and non secular point of view. It then examines the history, theology, and meaning of specific Anglican liturgies including: Holy Baptism, Confirmation, the Day by day Place of business, the Holy Eucharist, and the quite a lot of pastoral offices. An extensive bibliography, and a glossary of liturgical terms are included.
