    Softcover. [8], 87, [1] p.; 19.5 cm. (SCM book club ; 233) Contents: Foreword -- 1 Worship today: where we are and how we got here -- 2 Gains and losses -- 3 Worship and the Bible -- 4 Worship and theology -- 5 Worship and mystery -- 6 Creative worship -- 7 The prospects for worship: where do we go from here? -- Notes. -- `Those who engage in creative liturgy may be preserved from undue subjectivism, eccentricity and sectarianism by virtue of their exposure to the authorized forms of public worship, now enshrined in a proper Prayer Book. Conversely the insights gained by experimental worship may serve to enliven acts of public worship, and lead later on to the production of another prayer book for the twenty-first century which will reflect more adequately changes and advances in spirituality and theological understanding, and be better adapted to contemporary needs and aspirations. So let public worship continue to be in accordance with forms duly revised and authorized. But let there be a return to the days of Justin Martyr in the conduct and development of liturgy at small group level. Let both proceed together. Let both be equally acceptable. Let both be seen to be equally conducive to the church's health and vitality.' (p. 86) VG in orig. apple green wrapper.
