New Wine

More Eucharistic Liturgies for 21st Century Small Faith Communities

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.”
