On the Receiving End

This text is an exploration of the way the Eucharist is celebrated today, how it is experienced by those who take part, and the issues which confront it at a pastoral level - the clash between theory and practice, and the way new liturgies are being received. Each author writes from a different standpoint, one as a person who has created much of the liturgy used today, as well as from pastoral experiences, the other from experience in a more evangelical setting. The differing backgrounds of the two authors provide a wide perspective, stimulating a discussion about how each church should plan its worship, and looking towards future developments in Anglical liturgy.
