- Notes
- "In this paper I want to look critically at the BAS [Book of Alternative Services] from the perspective of one who cares deeply for liturgical reform. I will examine it in relation to three different questions which, taken together, give a broadly based perspective on the text's approach to Christian activity in the world: To what extent does the liturgy reflect an understanding of corporate and structural evil ? How is God described ? And, what expectations for the `aeternum' and the `parousia' are evident ? Each section of this paper will consider various prayers drawn from the different liturgies in the BAS and offer some preliminary evaluation in response to the above questions. The final section of the paper will contain some conclusions".
