SACRAMENTS AND WORSHIP, edited and introduced
by Maxwell Johnson, is a sourcebook covering Eastern and Western
Christian traditions. It seeks to be an introductory resource for
students of liturgical studies (SPCK, £25 (£22.50);
978-0-281-06803-6).
Brian Glennon has compiled very short reflections for
Eucharistic Ministers. The book is aimed at Roman
Catholics, but most of the material is equally applicable to
Anglicans. Royalties will go to the Peter McVerry Trust, which
works with homeless people (The Columba Press, £5.99
(£5.40); 978-1-85607-766-8).
Channels of Prayer: Praying with sacred objects,
structures and symbols by Innocent Chibueze Ezeonyeasi, a
Roman Catholic priest, is a devotional book about sacramentals.
Especially relevant to servers and sacristans, and including much
that is familiar to Anglicans, it offers food for thought and
prayer as it systematically moves through the church and the
accessories of Catholic worship, including liturgical colours and
symbols such as IHS (St Pauls, £9.99 (£9);
978-0-85439-856-0).
