The Liturgy after the liturgy

Notes: Includes bibliographical references.; "The `liturgy after the liturgy' is ... a way of expressing how Christian worship is inseparable from committed engagement in society and culture. The author begins by unfolding the ways in which the liturgy resonates with an understanding of the church as both gathered for worship and sent out to the ends of the earth, refreshed by the eucharistic bread and wine -- `food for pilgrims' in their everyday struggles. He then goes on to show the relevance of this missionary vision, not only for Orthodox churches facing new contemporary challenges but also ecumenically" -- back cover.
