  This text is an exploration of the way the Eucharist is celebrated today, how it is experienced by those who take part, and the issues which confront it at a pastoral level - the clash between theory and practice, and the way new liturgies are being received. Each author writes from a different standpoint, one as a person who has created much of the liturgy used today, as well as from pastoral experiences, the other from experience in a more evangelical setting. The differing backgrounds of the two authors provide a wide perspective, stimulating a discussion about how each church should plan its worship, and looking towards future developments in Anglical liturgy.
