Grasping the Heel of Heaven honours the immense legacy to the church of Michael Perham. A skilled and imaginative liturgist, a passionate advocate of women's ministry, an inspirational dean and bishop, a wise and patient administrator, he was above all a faithful priest who loved the Church as the body of Christ. In all his ministry he sought to nourish that body by encouraging its worship and prayer and shaping its governance in the light of gospel ideals. In this volume, friends and colleagues bring their own expertise to reflect on some of the topics and themes that were most important to him, including: * Being transported and transformed by liturgy * The making of Common Worship * The full inclusion of the ministry of women * How structures and decision-making express an understanding of God * Unity despite differences in and through God * The gospel as good news for all Together, the contributors reflect the numerous ways that Michael Perham saw heaven touching earth and earth glimpsing heaven.

Joint Liturgical Studies offers a valuable contribution to the study of liturgy. Each issue considers a particular aspect of liturgical development, such as the origins of the Roman rite, Anglican Orders, welcoming the Baptised, and Anglican Missals. It is aimed at all with an academic interest in worship. It is published twice a year in partnership with the Alcuin Club, which promotes the study of Christian liturgy, and the Group for Renewal of Worship (GROW).

'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.

The study of liturgy used to mean studying what Christians did in the past and how worship traditions developed over the centuries. The focus was especially on liturgical texts. Now the spotlight is on liturgical actions--what people do in worship, how they do it, and what their actions mean. And a comparative dimension is added: no longer looking only at the Christian past, scholars now look at the global present and compare what Christians say and do in worship with analogous actions in various religious and cultural settings.

New perspectives require new methods. Enter ritual studies, a discipline built on methods and insights developed by anthropologists. "Foundations in Ritual Studies" offers an anthropological and theological approach to the study of Christian liturgy, providing key essays for an orientation to this fruitful new approach.
