Theology, History, and Practice
  • By Robert Picken
$44.29
Product Description

An essential volume spanning the theology, tradition, and practical considerations of altar guild ministry

This necessary and practical guide is designed to function as a theological, formational, and spiritual resource for any altar guild member. Peppered with Scripture and prayers, it examines the history and tradition of the noble office and elevates the altar guild role as a vocation in the life of our church. Offering definitions, instructions, and illustrations, this volume has what you need to prepare for every liturgical season, as well as a guide for special services, including weddings, funerals, ordinations, and visits from the bishop. The volume will address modern challenges for this ministry arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, including health and safety and the rise of virtual worship services, as well as unique opportunities for leadership in a changing ecclesial landscape.

The congregations of The Episcopal Church are richly varied in architecture, custom, tradition, style of worship, and practice. The Manual for Altar Guilds will serve as a foundational resource and guide for this essential ministry, providing practical yet flexible guidance that can be easily adapted to meet the unique needs of your congregation and the changing times.
