GoodBookStall Review:
This book is a committed plea for daily liturgical worship. The urgent concern of George Guiver, Superior of the Community of the Resurrection in Mirfield, is that we recognise Christ in the world, within creation; and therefore that we understand worship as ‘God’s activity in us’, our own process of evolving discovery. Rejecting quests for somehow authoritative original forms of worship, Guiver invokes both theatre and the historical diversity of worshipping practice to plead that worship is continuing action; that formal worship interacts with contemporary life; and that, above all, the faithful learn to perceive the divine by participation in shared celebration.
