From the Back Cover
The definitive reference work that simplifies liturgical officiating and celebrating of the rites of the Episcopal Church. A Priest's Handbook explains the appropriate use of vestments, color, altar preparation, as well as gestures and movements during the various services. It also explores the particular prayer and liturgical options for the Holy Eucharist, Holy Week, Baptism, and other events in the Church's calendar. Sections on the use of the lectionary and the daily Offices make this handbook truly comprehensive. This third revision, done by the Rev. Christopher L. Webber, brings the Handbook up-to-date with current changes within the Church and its various liturgical resources. Dennis G. Michno was formerly curate and director of music at All Saints Church in New York City and now resides in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Christopher L. Webber is an Episcopal priest and author of "The Vestry Handbook", "A User's guide to the Holy Eucharist: Rites I and II", and other books.
