"In a time of increasing anxiety, the author of Radical Optimism breaks new ground as she explores the two teaching events of Holy Thursday: the Footwashing and Holy Communion. The Holy Thursday Revolution shows how this new paradigm - a movement from Lord to friend - can dramatically alter our personal and social relations, our economic and political practices."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Contains solid, practical advice on how to adorn the church's house for the seasons of the year, even through the long days of summer. Each chapter includes a section on images of the season drawn from the scriptures, the liturgy, and nature.

This long-awaited companion volume to Howard E. Galley's classic The Ceremonies of the Eucharist provides clergy, liturgical assistants, and altar guild members with clear, step-by-step guidance for the liturgies of Lent and Easter. In addition to background material for the traditions and theology of each season, Mitchell includes specific preparations and instructions for each liturgy of the paschal cycle--Ash Wednesday through Pentecost--as well as Tenebrae, the Way of the Cross, the Vigil of Pentecost, the liturgies of the catechumenate, and the chrism mass. He also provides helpful ideas for how the often complex liturgies of these seasons can be done simply and well by small congregations. Based on the liturgies of The Book of Common Prayer and the latest edition of The Book of Occasional Services, this ceremonial guide also draws on the paschal liturgies of other Anglican traditions, including those in Canada's Book of Alternative Services.
