A leading expert shares important benchmarks for leading liturgy.
Grounded in Christian liturgical theology and how ritual forms the
people who practice it, this book offers the principles at work in
good liturgical practice, guidance for making liturgical choices,
and best practices in leading and presiding over liturgical
worship. Topics include curating liturgy and leading with
excellence, principles for liturgical planning and presiding, and
best practices for the Eucharist and Baptism. The author draws on
his wide-ranging work in ritual theory to provide a practical guide
that clergy and lay leaders in the Episcopal Church will find to be
an essential resource. Those in other denominations will also find
this book to be a useful reference in standard setting.
Introducing readers to the contemporary field of sacramental
theology, this volume covers the biblical and historical
foundations, a survey of the state of the discipline, and a
collection of constructive essays representing major themes,
practices and approaches to sacraments and sacramentality in the
contemporary world. The volume starts with a set of foundational
essays that offer broad introduction to the field of sacramental
theology from contemporary scholars, analysing a number of
historical figures in order to illumine and inform contemporary
sacramental theology. The second part of the volume is dedicated to
a series of essays on sacramentality, and includes attention to
elements of space, time, ritual action, music, and word, all as
aspects of what Christians have termed "sacramental" reality. The
third set of essays includes attention to each of the seven
practices that have most commonly been termed "sacraments" in
Christian traditions: baptism; eucharist/Lord's Supper;
confirmation; confession, forgiveness and reconciliation; marriage;
ordination; and anointing. The final part of this volume features
scholars who are working on sacraments in conversation with
contemporary academic disciplines: critical race theory, queer
theory, comparative theology, and disability studies.
