Language and liturgy

Notes: "[By] Gerald L. Bray, Stephen A. Wilcockson and Robin A. Leaver".; Includes bibliographical references.; "Few subjects have sparked off more controversy than the vexed question of language in the Liturgy. Recent attempts at liturgical revision may sometimes have been historically reactionary and theologically inadequate, but faults of this kind have scarcely been noticed by those who have made the loudest complaints. For them, it is the quality of expression (or lack of it) which constitutes the greatest obstacle to accepting new forms of worship. Moreover, this view is expressed by churchmen of all schools of thought, who have been nurtured on the classical texts and drawn the substance of their faith from them". -- p. 3.; Contents: Language and Liturgy / Gerald L.
