Reviews
This text is an ideal primer both for altar guild members new and experienced, as well as anyone who is looking for a basic overview of how the Episcopal Church approaches sacrament, sacred time, and sacred space. It is an essential tool for those who lovingly tend to worship., In both a practical and spiritual way, Canon Picken has captured the essence of the incarnational self-giving of those who prepare for the community's liturgies. He offers necessary insight and depth into the practical theology which is at the center of our encounter with the holy and the missional motivation to share Christ's gift of self in the world., This is a wonderfully readable and in-depth look at the ministry of Altar Guild. The level of detail makes it a good read not only for seasoned guild members but also those just starting out and all involved in or around the sacristy and sanctuary., Fr. Rob Picken's commitment to the literacy of all the baptized and his solid liturgical instincts honors the work of the Altar Guild by taking seriously their theological formation for what that they do. I commend it for use in every community of worship., Rob Picken offers an excellent resource not only for altar guilds but for anyone who is interested in worship in the Episcopal Church. He provides a concise but comprehensive tour of the history and theology that grounds our worship as well as a clear view on current worship patterns. At the heart of this book is a clear love for our common worship life and a deep respect for those 'custodians of the sacred' who sustain and support how we worship.

The item was marked as delivered on May 27th to a “reception area,” even though I live in a single-family home. Clearly a USPS error. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly and assured me the book was on the way. It finally arrived safely on June 7th. Not the seller’s fault, and I appreciate their professionalism and communication throughout. Would buy from them again.
