The Way of Christ-Likeness: Being Transformed by the Liturgies of Lent, Holy Week and Easter

di Michael Perham (Autore)

Canterbury Press Norwich, 2016

The seasonal liturgies at the heart of the Christian year have the ability to touch individuals and whole church communities in a way that changes lives. This companion and commentary to Lent, Holy Week and Easter offers advice on creatively using the church's most dramatic and transformative liturgies. It explores how commemorating Jesus' passion and resurrection enables us to enter the familiar stories and discover their power to make us more Christlike, even in the painful events of life. Written principally for those who celebrate the liturgy - clergy, readers, local ministry teams, ordinands and others, it stretches from the beginning of Lent to the end of the Great Fifty Days, with a particular focus on Holy Week. For each event in this season, it: o Traces how it has been observed in Christian tradition o Explores how the authorized liturgies can be used creatively in different pastoral contexts o Reflects on the narratives theologically and in terms of their power to transform.
