The Liturgical Environment: What the Documents Say, Second Edition

Summary: Require for liturgical ministers and RCIA leaders
Review: Each chapter in this book is divided into sections: ecclesial documents, theology, praxis and conclusions. Chapters cover: church building, altar, ambo, presidential chair, baptistry, tabernacle, candles, vestments, oils, and confessional.

While this may sound like dull reading, Boyer's use of the dedication rites to establish the symbolism surrounding the liturgical environment "things", make this an interesting and useful read.

I especially recommend it for liturgical ministers, religious education leaders and RCIA leaders i.e. for those called upon to interpret the symbols by their actions or explain the symbols to others
