For all churches who value dignified ceremony, here is a practical handbook detailing the responsiblities of all who serve at the alter: acolytes, thurifers and crucifers. It is a useful guide for training new servers, as well as a lifelong reference companion for all duties that servers may be asked to undertake. Diagrams and a friendly style throughout make its teaching crystal clear and there are helpful notes on general demeanour, how to avoid fussiness, dress, posture, preparation of the altar and processions. The information is applicable to Eucharist, the Daily Offices, Baptism, Marriage, Funerals, special occasions and the Christian year.
