These pastorally oriented booklets address crucial life-issues and answer often-asked questions with sensitivity, simplicity, and clarity. They weave the meaning of Anglican teaching and liturgy into the fabric of everyday life and work, offering the gifts of the church while honouring the experience of the reader. Designed as handouts for inquirers, or resources for individual reading or group study, all four booklets include short 'stories' from Canadian Anglicans telling what the liturgies mean to them. ....
