Product Description

This groundbreaking resource will be put to immediate use in churches up and down the country and will transform the way that worship is both conducted and experienced. Liturgy is all too often about words and is led from the front. This imaginative and profoundly theological companion is packed with ideas on how to enrich the liturgy by creating a context of action, movement and symbolic expression involving the whole assembly. A modern 'Priest's Handbook', this will not only instruct and inspire clergy and worship leaders, but will fully engage congregations in creating worship that is nurturing and challenging.

Customer Reviews

Not really a guide more of an inspiration
This book can be used as a guide if you want to do the same things that the author did. However if you just want to be inspired to think about how your worship "functions" then this is where the books is really great, because it makes you think by explaining the thoughts behind the ideas. You may decide you like things just the way they are in your church but you will have examined why you think that by the time you have finished this book.

Interesting
I am really pleased that I have purchased this book, full of interesting ideas to liven up the Church! But it is not a guide book,which is soert of what I had expected but Creating Uncommon Worship by Richard Giles gives the reader the tools to think for themselves.
