This book offers a wide-ranging and fascinanting survey of the comtemporary stat of Christian worship. Some thirty liturgists, theologians, church leaders and pastors - from Coptic Orthodox to Quaker, from Mar Thoma to Yoido Full Gospel - present their church's current understanding and practice of worship. The impact of the liturgical renewal and ecumenical movements on worship is considered. Two ecumenical communities, lona and Grandchamp, explain how their distintive worship life is rooted in Christian tradition, and two essays reflect on the significance of worship and ecumenical contexts. In a concluding section, five prominent liturgists reflect on the current state of Christian worship and on opportunities - and challenges - facing the churches, both individually and ecumenically, in their worship today,
