Editorial Reviews

▼▲

'Being a Server Today is a goldmine of information. It covers the sacristy, the liturgical year, and the different serving roles. It gives guidance on the mechanics of funerals and said or sung masses. The real strength of this book, however, is its concern with prayer: servers are to "cultivate an inner stillness" in all that they do. (...) any server would derive immense nourishment as well as practical help from Being a Server Today.' -- Church Times
