A new series of articles by Rev. Bosco Peters on his site liturgy.co.nz is well worth a look. Here is the first article— about our focus on God—and there is much for us to reflect on. Happy reading (and commenting). Click on the link: Seven Habits of Highly Effective Churches 1.

I liked this bit from The Liturgy pdf.
The presider is the conductor – selecting, organising, coordinating,
and making sure that all flows.
But, the congregation is not the audience. The congregation, the gathered
community, is the orchestra.
I think this is a cool focus.
Hi Liz, I love this quote. Rev. Bosco Peters is full of insight on this subject and many others. For other readers’ benefit, Liz is quoting from a pdf of Bosco’s talk, ‘Some Thoughts on Liturgy,’ found on his blogsite liturgy.co.nz You can also watch a video of this talk – but it is 44 minutes long.
