In our post-modern, technological and visual age, there seems to be
a new fascination with symbols. And in such an age as this, it is
not enough just to understand and use the written liturgy, whether
old or new, like Common Worship. In worship and in our pastoral
rites, the preoccupation with texts has to be balanced with the
vital liturgical language of symbols. Never before has there been
such scope for the use of symbols as can be found in the family of
Common Worship services. Not simply visual aids, liturgical symbols
are suggestive and evocative; they belong to a whole matrix of
imagery in Scripture and in the prayer texts that accompany the
ritual acts of worship. Each chapter of Symbols and Worship
provides theological and historical background to the symbols
discussed (water, oil, light and incense), as well as practical
guidance on the place and use of these symbols in the whole range
of Common Worship services.
