Gathered For God: Church's Teachings For a Changing World by Dent Davidson

JEFFREY LEE and DENT DAVIDSON The new Church's Teachings series has been one of the most recognizable and useful sets of books in the Episcopal Church. With the launch of the Church's Teachings for a Changing World series, visionary Episcopal thinkers and leaders have teamed up to write a new set of books, grounded and thoughtful enough for seminarians and leaders, concise and accessible enough for newcomers, with a host of discussion resources that help readers to dig deep. What's really going on when Episcopalians gather for worship? Musician Dent Davidson and Bishop Jeff Lee bring decades of partnership to this lively conversation about the rituals that make faith real--gathering, bathing, welcoming, storytelling, feasting, and sending God's people. More than a treatise on the Book of Common Prayer, Gathered for God opens fresh ways of seeing what the Prayer Book makes possible. Paperback. 104 pages DENT DAVIDSON leads liturgy and arts ministries in the Diocese of Chicago and has served as Chaplain to the Episcopal House of Bishops for more than a decade. JEFFREY LEE is the Bishop of Chicago. A respected liturgist and preacher, he wrote Opening the Prayer Book for the New Church's Teaching Series (1999) and serves on the Episcopal Church's Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music.
