This clear and practical guide to the new Liturgy of the Church of England is intended to help parishes make the transition to Common Worship and to guide them through the early stages of its use.

Why are the services changing? How will our Sunday worship be affected? How do we go about making the changes? What do we need to buy? Can we produce our own service booklets?

A Simple Guide to Common Worship traces the origins and development of the new services and explains the theological and liturgical thinking behinf the introduction of the new generation of Anglican rites.

A glossary of terms and a survey of resources connected to Common Worship completes this indispensable handbook.
