HYMNS ANCIENT & MODERN LT

A study of key Anglican Benedictine Communities in the first half of the 20th century. It provides a record of how the Anglican Communion dealt with an issue that was as divisive in its day as today's disputes over sexuality and women bishops, and explores the origins of the influential Anglican Papalism movement.

This practical volume explores every aspect of serving as a Eucharist minister: what to do; how to learn vital skills; understanding the Eucharist more deeply, giving Communion in church and so forth.

Includes general hymns; hymns for feasts, seasons and saints' days; office hymns for the liturgical year; an enlarged eucharistic section; responsorial psalms, and a new English folk mass setting.

Wise and informed commentary on the lectionary readings for the principal service in Year B. The authors represent a wide spectrum of theology but their shared concern for excellence in preaching have combined to produce an inspirational volume.

Churches like museums and static worship where a passive audience sits in pews is about as far removed as you can get from the biblical concept of the church as the pilgrim people of God, forever journeying and 'seeking a country that is to come'. This volume suggests various practical ways of creating elements of worship.

Offers a study of Eucharistic spirituality and liturgical formation. This book provides guidance to clergy, ordinands, Eucharistic ministers, study groups and individuals who wish to understand the Eucharist more fully.

A resource for integrating worship, learning, spiritual formation and daily living, this work is for all who take part in worship, helping them to engage more deeply with the Scripture readings of the day.
