Community involves conversation. That's true especially for the Community of Persons in the Triune Godhead. Try to imagine them not speaking to each other. How strange it is then that we talk to each other so little at least in charitable ways when planning and assessing our worship of the Triune God.Encounters with the Holyoffers straightforward wisdom in deepening the conversation of God's people on worship. --Dr. Lester Ruth, Lily May Jarvis Professor of Christian Worship at Asbury Theological Seminary and Instructor in Worship History, Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship StudiesWhat a stimulating 'round table' approach to worship planning this resource offers pastors, musicians, and lay leaders! Liturgy truly becomes the 'work of the people' as congregants and staff members participate in a detailed, yet highly flexible model for worship planning that can be used in congregations of all sizes. --Leonora Tubbs Tisdale, Clement-Muehl Professor of Homiletics, Yale Divinity School
