In this first new Eucharistic customary in nearly 20 years,
Patrick Malloy, an Episcopal priest and liturgical scholar, presents
a clear, illustrated guide for the presider and other leaders of
the liturgy, contemporary in approach but based on ancient and
classic principles of celebration.
The 1979 Book of Common Prayer, like its predecessors, is long
on telling the Church what to say, and short on telling it what to
do. This leaves those who "choreograph" Prayer Book liturgies with a complex task and a
powerful influence over the faith of the Church. The author begins with a concise theology
of the liturgy that underpins all of his specific directives in the book.
Contents include: Theological and liturgical principles; Liturgical ministry and liturgical ministers;
Liturgical space; Vesture, vessels, and other liturgical objects; The liturgical year; The shape
of the liturgy; The sung liturgy and singing during the liturgy; The order of the Eucharist
(the "heart" of the book); and The celebration of Baptism during the Eucharist.
Patrick Malloy is H. Boone Porter Professor of Liturgics at the General Theological Seminary in New York. Earlier, he was a staff member of the Notre Dame Center for Pastoral Liturgy and taught at St. John's University, Collegeville, MN, and Duquesne University, Pittsburgh. The Rev. Dr. Malloy holds a Ph.D. in liturgical studies from the University of Notre Dame and is a former member of the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music of the Episcopal Church. He is a Church Publishing author and Episcopal priest.
