Notes: Cover title.; "[By] The Rt. Rev. Richard L. Shimpfky".; "As the name implies, the Parish Eucharist Church aims to respond to a widely diverse range of worship needs held by Christian and Episcopalian people; a place where the whole variety of diverse needs are honored and met. The Parish Eucharist at 9:15 a.m. is symbolic of the whole; this Service welcomes and includes children, youth and adults who want what was once called 'family worship'. Speaking from familiarity with the English movement, the new Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, said 'In my experience, the service that is bringing in newcomers is the very simple form of family or Parish Eucharist.' The 8:00 a.m. Communion and the 11:15 a.m. Service meet other and legitimate worship needs." -- p. 1.; Contents: Worship: The Church as Church -- Education: The Church as Campus -- Koinonia and Outreach: The Church as Community Center -- A New Movement -- Visiting the Parish Eucharist -- And there is more ! -- And there is still more ! -- About Education -- The Parish Eucharist Model builds ministries ! -- Practical Fruits of the Movement -- Challenges Presented -- Postscript.; Bishop Shimpfky's biography in the Episcopal Clerical Directory lists the date of this publication as 1990.; Author is the Episcopal Bishop of El Camino Real.
