For Christians seeking deeper liturgical experiences

Addresses the decline in worship appeal and mystery

You will rediscover the beauty of worship practices

This insightful book explores the re-enchantment of liturgy in today's worship.

Two of the leading names in Anglo-Catholicism today ask whether the widespread falling away of the appeal of religious worship is connected with the simplification of liturgical practice over recent decades? Has a well-meant policy of making the language and style of worship more accessible resulted in a loss of the sense of mystery - and has this accelerated the decline? The authors, who were each involved with the development of Common Worship, explore the wider Catholic and Orthodox traditions where nothing like the reforms that have happened within Anglicanism have taken place. They survey 5 centuries of change in the Anglican tradition, the altered rhythm of the liturgical year, the decline in singing, the rise of the modern worship song - and much more in an attempt to define what renewal of the liturgy for today's church might look like and how re-enchantment would work in practice.
