How can one achieve fresh expressions of church against a backdrop of millennia of church history, liturgy and tradition? "Creative Ideas for Alternative Sacramental Worship" explores a theology and method of creative, alternative worship which returns to the heart of the encounter with God - through ritual, symbol and in its ultimate expression, in sacramentalism. Created by an active practitioner in this field, Church of England priest and curator of the alternative worship experience Blessed, Simon Rundell provides examples, vision and practical know-how to enable readers to create and engage in alternative worship which is innovative, missionary and creative, using the richness of tradition and the depth of the catholic and orthodox spiritualities. This work provides a DVD of material for the reader to adapt and implement as well as a wealth of ideas for the reader's own expressions of postmodern worship.

Reaching out to the un-churched demands missionaries travel light for fear of making Christ inaccessible through unintelligible stuff. Evangelicalism at its best throws out simple lines that draw people into the orbit of Christian worship. It needs complementing by ongoing efforts to make Christian worship more luminous of Christ in word and sacrament.
Simon Rundell, fully convinced of the power of Christian sacraments, provides such a resource with ideas galore to engage newcomers to the eucharist. He hands on the experience of his alternative worship community Blesséd known from Greenbelt, Walsingham and the fresh expressions sacramental network. The philosophy outlined is Christocentric working from a belief that ritual practices that fail to touch heart and soul for Jesus need ditching.
One of the fruits of the 20th century liturgical renewal has been to make the sacraments more intelligible by removing obscure ritual. Simon Rundell sees the multimedia resources of our age as God-given aids to further bring out the meaning and power of sacramental worship. He shares ideas aplenty for refreshing the different parts of the eucharist and some other Christian rituals. His suggestions range from the mundane - making sure your projection slides can be read - to the awesome as in dramatic meditations that can be re-used by readers, not least his moving set of Stations of the Cross.
The book is supplemented by a CD Rom with ready to use DVD clips. Despite copious helpful detail on working with multi-media, the best software etc Fr Rundell makes plain that all of this would be useless without the gift of the Lord's own presence in bread and wine, a gift whose meaning and power he seeks to unwrap for us.
