Product Description
Product Description
A guide to liturgy and worship in the Church of England within the framework of 'Common Worship', which combines theory, theology and history with a strong sense of the realities of parish life and pastoral practice. It explores the way in which liturgy can reflect the life of the church and the wider world, and the new opportunities for churches at a local level to own and shape the liturgy they use. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in worship in the Church of England, and who wants the worship of their church to be the best they can offer, based on clear liturgical principles. It is also practical and detailed - Michael Perham covers clothing and colours, children's role in worship, the cycle of the Christian year, the timing of services, the use of church space and other elements that go to make up the feel of an individual church. The book has its roots in two of Michael Perham's earlier works, 'Liturgy Pastoral and Parochial' and 'Lively Sacrifice', though much of the material is quite new, and fills its role as key texts for anyone interested in the liturgy of the Church of England.

Format:Paperback
Michael Perham's book is most useful for its practical suggestions on the pastoral uses of the new Common Worship services (a new book in the Church of England)The title of his book is a little misleading because it includes comment on more than those services contained in the Pastoral Services Book and covers the Eucharist and initiation rites as well as marriage, healing, funerals etc. The book begins with a section on the nature of liturgy and then explores principles and practice. As well as looking at the pastoral use of various services , he also makes comment on the implications of the Christian year. The book will be useful to Anglican clergy, Readers and lay people who are involved in the planning of liturgy. Because of its practical nature it may also be of interest to worship leaders in other Christian denominations as they seek to link liturgy to the church's pastoral task. It is a very readable book which tries to avoid too much religious jargon

As a Reader in the Church of England I have found this book to be really helpful when planning worship. There are sections on most of the usual Church services with a good breakdown of what can happen and when.
The book is easy to read and has much that would help all planners of worship.
