- Notes
- This book "describes itself as a handbook 'for those who plan worship in parishes of the Episcopal Church', yet it is not a 'how-to-do-it' book. It seeks to expound the classic principles embodied in Anglican liturgical tradition, so that parish planners can make informed decisions about what they are doing". "Smith's book us addressed not so much to clergy as to members of parish liturgy committees, since he reminds us that worship in the Anglican tradition has always been seen as the joint work of priest and people". "This is an excellent book for everyone who plans Anglican worship in North America. The principles Smith cites apply equally well to those using the Canadian 'Book of Alternative Services', and those in the Lutheran tradition would find they need minimal adaptation."
