Using Common Worship: Initiation Services

A hands-on guide to the new "Common Worship" initiation services - including Baptism, Confirmation and Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child. It seeks to offer straightforward and realistic ideas about how to use the services in your church. Drawing on her parish experience, Gilly Myers includes suggestions for a range of local situations, grounded in the thinking behind the new provisions. The new features of the services are set out, identifying the differences from ASB and BCP and highlighting questions such as how to handle the range of options and the use of images.
