Description

On this third and final volume in a series of ceremonial guides to worship in the Episcopal Church consistent with The Book of Common Prayer, Leonel L. Mitchell specializes in the pastoral and occasional liturgies. Beginning with the celebration of the Day-to-day Workplace, he goes on to talk about the seasonal liturgies beyond the Lent-Easter cycle, including Advent Lessons and Carols, Candlemas, and Rogation processions. The pastoral offices include baptism, marriage, the blessing of homes, reconciliation, ministry to the unwell, and burial.

Finally, Mitchell concludes with the services and products involving bishops, including celebrations of new ministries, consecrations of churches, and ordination rites.

Like its two companion volumes, Howard E. Galley’s The Ceremonies of the Eucharist and Mitchell’s Lent, Holy Week, Easter, and the Great Fifty Days, this new guide offers clear descriptions of ways of celebrating the rites in addition to the theological and historical reasons at the back of them. The book is designed to be useful in churches of all sizes, small and large.
