Worship and Mission

"Professor Davies is a scholar and theologian, head of the Department of Theology in the University of Birmingham, who has been deeply involved in the World Council of Churches study on 'The Missionary Structure of the Congregation.' Some WCC studies never escape from the captivity of duplicated documents in ecumenical jargon. That has not been true of this study of what a congregation would look like if mission really were its aim and meaning, partly because those taking part have listened so carefully to what people in 'the front line' have been saying. Dr. Davies's book shows how creative an experience it can be to look at the Catholic heritage of worship and sacraments in this fresh light."
