Synopsis
Exploring the true meaning behind a central Anglican ritual and its historical debate.
This scholarly work examines the consecration rubric in the Church of England’s Communion Service, weighing historical practice, liturgical theory, and theological implications.

The book analyzes debates around the Eastward position, the placement of the Lord’s Table, and the relationship between ritual freedom and doctrinal meaning. It situates the discussion within a long tradition of Anglican liturgical study, drawing on letters, ecclesiastical commentary, and published pamphlets to illuminate how ordinary worship and official rubrics intersect.What you’ll experience
