'The persistent voice of Richard Giles, author of Repitching the
Tent and Creating Uncommon Worship amongst other things, has been
almost unique in the Anglican tradition in this generation in
insisting that it is how you do church - how the liturgy is
celebrated and how this is expressed in the way the community
gathers in and moves through the building - that challenges and
changes the people of God, and offers them the chance of actually
becoming the body of Christ in a particular place. Sometimes this
voice must have felt like one crying in the wilderness, and it was
to Philadelphia in the USA that Richard was eventually called as
Dean rather than to an English cathedral. But his writing and
speaking as well as what this former town-planner turned priest
achieved in the buildings he re-ordered have witnessed to his
single-minded determination to share his vision for what might be.
This volume marks his considerable achievement with a mixture of
reminiscence, reflection and re-envisioning from some of his
distinguished colleagues and fellow-practitioners. As Bishop
Stephen Cottrell says: 'Richard's vision ... was never just about
reordering buildings; it was about reordering Christian communities
...', and the breadth and range of contributions indicate the
variety of ways in which he continues to re-imagine, stimulate and
encourage the task of making the Body of Christ a reality in a
world that takes refuge in words. This book is a real antidote.'
David Stancliffe, former Chair of the Liturgical Commission and
former Bishop of Portsmouth The Art of Tentmaking honours Richard
Giles as a liturgical pioneer. It will appeal to all who practice
presidency in Christian worship and have responsibilities for
shaping Christian assembly: architects, artists, musicians, as well
as clergy and others with focal roles. The international range of
contributors come from Anglican, Lutheran, Roman Catholic and
Uniting Church traditions: Rosalind Brown, Stephen Burns, Stephen
Cottrell, Steven Croft, Carol Doran, Rick Fabian, Dirk Lange,
Gerard Moore, Rod Pattenden, Martyn Percy, Melinda Quivik, Richard
Vosko and Ian Zass-Ogilvie, and they tackle themes like
interpreting space, engaging the arts, shaping ceremonial scences,
being hospitable, making for ritual transformation, and liturgical
celebration in the service of mission. STEPHEN BURNS is Research
Fellow in Public and Contextual Theology in United Theological
College, Sydney.
