Author: Ormonde PlaterISBN: 9780898696349Publisher: Church Publishing IncorporatedYear first published: 08 Sep 2009Pages: 129 Format: Paperback / softbackIn the Anglican churches o f North America, and sometimes elsewhere, there are two complaints about deacons in the liturgy: Bishops and priests complain that deacons don't know how to do liturgy. Deacons complain that bishops and priests won't let them do liturgy. The solution lies in liturgical formation, both theological and practical. This book is designed to help provide that formation for bishops, priests, deacons, and indeed for all the people of God. The introduction provides a brief history of the use of deacons in Anglican liturgies, from 1549 to the present, including characteristics and statement of purposes. Show more
