This timely and provocative book asks whether the widespread
falling away of the appeal of religious worship is connected with
the simplification of liturgical practice over recent decades. Has
a well-meant policy of making the language and style of worship
more accessible resulted in a loss of the sense of mystery - and
has this accelerated the decline? The author, who was involved with
the development of Common Worship, surveys five hundred years of
change in the Anglican tradition against the wider backdrop of the
Catholic and the Orthodox traditions. He explores what the search
for re-enchantment might mean in a post-modern society where the
corporate practice of religion is in decline and where religious
language and religious worship have lost much of their appeal.
