"Sixteen liturgical scholars of the Anglican Communion met together in Brixen (Bressanone) in northern Italy over two days, 24-25 August 1987, at the conclusion of the 1987 Societas Liturgica to discuss the formative role of the liturgy in the life of the People of God, under the theme, `Liturgical Formation and Education'." "Not all the presentations (let alone the discussions) at the Consultation are represented here. Nontheless, the papers that could be accommodated to the scope of this publication reflect, it is hoped, the principal theme with which the Consultation wrestled." -- Intro., p. 6.
