Synopsis

This volume explores the rich use of symbolic language in the Book of Common Prayer, leading participants to a deeper faith as they explore the meanings of the metaphors and symbolism. As they ponder the words of the prayer for the dedication of a church, they consider the people of God as "living stones of a holy temple," bringing them to new understandings of what it means to build the City of God.
