About this eBook
Using the unique circumstances and opportunities available to historic St. Martin-in-the-Fields at Trafalgar Square in London, renowned vicar Sam Wells and members of the church staff offer insights about the intersections between liturgy and outreach. Exploring questions of both formal and informal engagement with liturgy, prayer book revision, and practical how-tos for acute congregational needs, urban parishes around the world will find inspiration and resources within these pages. Written by the staff and dedicated lay members of the St. Martin’s community, the book is an invitation to us all to be more inclusive and compassionate when planning worship and other services. Topics of interest include pastoral care for those affected by crime and homelessness, great sacred music, laying-on-of-hands, podcasting/webcasting, and holiday observances that extend love and service to all neighbors across denominations and walks of life.
