The worship of the Christian community; properly understood and done; leads worshipers to act out in their lives the love of God; which is at the heart of our worship. Worship also provides the power and the sustenance which makes this style of living possible. This Christian style of living; moreover; drives those who are committed to it back to the worship of God; to find forgiveness and strength...When this interdependent relationship is understood; the power of worship is illuminated and the power to live increased. - From the Preface First written in 1979; and out of print for many years; Liturgy For Living remains a classic text in the field of Anglican/Episcopal liturgy. This highly readable overview explores the meaning of worship from a theological; historical; and spiritual perspective. It then examines the history; theology; and meaning of specific Anglican liturgies including: Holy Baptism; Confirmation; the Daily Office; the Holy Eucharist; and the various pastoral offices. An extensive bibliography; and a glossary of liturgical terms are included.
