- "When all is said and done, however, there are only two, not forty-four, ways to increase attendance in any congregation. One is to increase the frequency of attendance of those who are now attending. .... The second approach is to reach more people. .... Many of the suggestions in this book are designed to increase the frequency of attendance. Others are designed to attract first-time visitors and a few are included to increase the probability that first-time visitors will return the following Sunday". -- Intro., p. 14, 15.

The event produced an exciting report and the letter reproduced in this article.

- "For four days last June (1996), Lutheran parishes in the city of Ottawa were hosts for the biennial ELCIC National Worship Conference under the theme `Lift Up Your Hearts'. Among the workshops offered in the programme was one I led with the title `Drama in a Sacramental Medium'. The intention of the workshop was to provide participants with opportunity to reflect on the place of drama in Christian worship, and an opportunity to experience the richness that drama can provide, even in Word-and-Sacrament worship."

- Notes
- "Anglican churches in Western Australia proved they are not small and struggling when over 4000 Anglicans from all over the Diocese of Perth gathered for a 'Celebration Eucharist' at Challenge Stadium in the Perth suburb of Mt. Claremont. The service held on Sunday 29 July [2007] was a highlight of two weeks of special events marking the 150th anniversary of the Perth Diocese". "The celebration Eucharist was described as Anglican liturgy at its best -- splendid, colourful, dignified and joyous". The sermon was given by the Most Rev. and Rt. Hon John Sentamu, Archbishop of York. The archbishop and his wife, Margaret, were special guests for the 150th celebrations. Archbishop Sentamu "said worship and praise lie at the centre of the human response to God. 'For thousands of years people have sought to draw closer to God in this way. The revelation of God's all embracing love in Christ has brought people into a new dimension of worship of intimacy and transcendence. As we gather in this community of Faith and give thanks to God for the 150 years of the Diocese of Perth we are reminded of our place within a community of worship which is wider that can be imagined and held in the timelessness of God'". "The diversity of the Perth Diocese was reflected throughout the service with readings in Arabic and Mandarin, and singing from the Sudanese choir".

- "Have you ever considered the powerful impact of the printing press ? Can you imagine the pre-printing press church -- a church without Bibles, without hymnals, without bulletins (impossible !) ? But Shane takes up deeper, asking how the form of that revolutionary 16th-century technology has affected the church -- its piety, its authority structures, its structures of theology, its forms of public worship, it very articulation of the gospel. Then consider the impact of electronic media -- telegraph, radio, film, television, computer, the Internet, even the projection screen. How did and how will these innovations rewire our minds and change the way churches function -- in piety, in authority structures, in structures of theology, in forms of public worship, in the articulation of the gospel ?" -- Foreword, p. 9-10.
