Touch Holiness : Resources for Worship

Theologically and liturgically sensitive, these resources for the church year will encourage creativity and theological integrity in worship. They address God in a rich variety of images from scripture and Christian experience so that worship may be more inclusive and vital. They respect human differences in gender, race, and physical abilities, excluding no one and honoring all. Christian concern for justice and peace ia a central theme. Touch Holiness includes a list of alternitive lectionary reading, a Service of Thanksgiving for Christian Dying into Life, texts for sung service music, prayers of intercession, and resources for use in special times in a congregation's life. This collection, written by more than fifty contributors from many local churches, has grown out of the worshiping lives of the congregations.
