Recovering the Love Feast

Preaching & Worship

Foreword

“In emerging small churches as well as in traditional 'inherited' churches, people are drawing on the New Testament form of worship which takes place at table. It is a pleasure to welcome Paul Stutzman's fascinating work to this growing movement of recovery. . . Stutzman examines the Love Feast form of worship in the New Testament and proposes five disciplines, each of which has an attendant practice: submission/feetwashing, love/fellowship meal, confession/preparation for communion, reconciliation/kiss, thanksgiving/communion. Each discipline is a gift of God; each looks backward and forward; each moves us toward the goal of holistic worship--the loving, reconciled body responding in thanksgiving and praise to God. I am convinced that the full-orbed Love Feast which draws the five themes together carries potential for genuine renewal.”

Sacraments after Christendom

Preaching & Worship

“Sacraments are to be experienced, not just talked about. This excellent book is not about the nature or number of the sacraments; it deals with the ‘why?’ and ‘how best?’ of lively sacramental practice. Christians find their identity and their community through engaging in sacramental practices which reveal who we are, and to whom we belong. The purpose of Francis and Sutton is to enable readers to grapple with these questions and to chart new sacramental ways.”
