New Wine
More Eucharistic Liturgies for 21st Century Small Faith Communities
by Mary Beben
This book has had the good fortune to be
"midwifed" by a small faith community, an inclusive gathering of "People of God" - men and women, on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, near Port Ludlow. They were invited to use these liturgies in a way that was mutually supportive for the author
and for their community. Here is some of what this group has had to say about using New Wine...
“We are experimenting with your liturgies
and finding them very helpful in creatively opening up
themes and scriptures for current use.
Members responsible for planning the liturgies
have taken what you have presented as written...
others have made innovations.
Regardless, the liturgies have been life-giving and joyous
expressions of our faith and worship together.
After dialogue homily reflections, the presider(s) share
personal stories.
We find this an important way to build relationships
and bond. We are grateful for the gift
of your innovative liturgies and the ideas
and themes they generate for us.”
