God's Transforming Work

A collection of purpose-written reflections on Common Worship and the ways it has been used over the ten years of its existence. In this volume, Nicholas Papadopulos gathers contributions from distinguished liturgical practitioners to assess its development and reflect upon its usage in this first decade. In a series of penetrating and thought-provoking essays, ten authors consider Common Worship's emergence from earlier liturgical revisions. They examine its provisions for the Eucharist, baptism and ordination, as well as for the Service of the Word. The effective use of music and architecture is also considered, as are the training needs of worship leaders and the Church's liturgical future. Contributors include Michael Perham, Angela Tilby, Anders Bergquist, Jeremy Fletcher, Simon Reynolds, Richard Giles, Jeremy Davies, Peter Moger, Gilly Myers. Foreword by Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury.
