These prayers, liturgies, and blessings may be used by ministers or others involved with Christian worship and events held in the church. The general approach is to examine traditional and nontraditional events for liturgies. From these a resource book can be developed of liturgies, prayers, and blessings for public worship and personal events. Specific examples or resources will be quoted within the text of this book.
