Renewal of Worship: Caring for the People
University Press of America (Verlag)
978-0-7618-3047-4 (ISBN)
The book focuses on two important issues: 1) the relationship between the pastor and his or her flock; and 2), the fundamentals of worship including: Liturgy; Sacraments; Special Services; and the Liturgical Season. Pastoral visitation is essential to ensuring that the service of worship is relevant to the worshipper. Leading the service of worship effectively requires the blending of these two areas. There is also a section dedicated to difficult circumstances, such as suicide and death and children.
The information, specific instructions, and "tips" in this book will enable today's pastor to fulfill the calling by avoiding many of the pitfalls that tend to occur "out in the field." The text includes stories and events—some serious, others lighthearted—that are intended to prepare the pastor for such experiences...for they will come.
