Creating Uncommon Worship: Transforming the Liturgy of the Eucharist​ - Richard Giles

Creating Uncommon Worship is a groundbreaking resource that seeks to transform the way worship is conducted and experienced. Offering helpful suggestions on how to avoid the common problem of restricting liturgy to words being spoken in the front of the church, Creating Uncommon Worship is filled with ideas on how to enrich the liturgy by creating a context of action, movement, and symbolic expression involving the whole assembly. Creating Uncommon Worship is an essential theological companion that not only provides instruction and inspiration for the clergy and worship leaders, but fully engages the laity in creating nurturing and challenging worship. The Reverend Richard Giles is the author of the best selling Re-pitching the Tent, a guide to reordering the church building. Previously the Anglican vicar of an inner city parish in Huddersfield, United Kingdom, he was appointed Dean of Philadelphia with the task of reordering the cathedral church in that city.

Reviews
"The reader who has prayed within a liturgical tradition can enjoy this minutely detailed case study for creating uncommonly beautiful and effective worship. Those who read in order to reform their own local congregation's liturgy, or even fine-tune it, will judge this how-to guide as readable, instructive, practical and, finally, invigorating. "
-Religion and the Arts

"Giles describes ideas for the liturgy that can be used or adapted in many settings, explores basic principles, and offers detailed guidelines for developing inspiring liturgies. The text is illustrated with many photographs, provides a selection of supplementary and alternative prayers, and suggests art and liturgical resources."
-Theology Digest

"This book's organization and layout provide a medium for the reader to encounter liturgical catechesis and the principles, design, and practice of good liturgy. "
-Pastoral Music

"This book is a timely, tested, and indispensable resource for local faith communities and diocesan liturgical commissions."
-Pastoral Music

"Giles begins with principles, then how to manage the change, and lastly the Eucharist. Individuals interested in such changes will have to study their situation and determine how to adapt such changes in their church. For them Liturgy will come to life! Read this book to let you experience why this happens."
-Catholic Library World

"For Giles, as it should be for every Christian, liturgy unleashes power and passion. And this great work of the community becomes its play taking all beyond time and space that we might better live our present."
-Catholic Books Review

"From start to finish Giles fulfills his goal to offer a book for practitioners rather than scholars (3)."
-Catholic Books Review

"Giles is not a solo voice advocating change; liturgical renewal scholars and practitioners are widely cited. Perhaps, as he suggests, one should go and see."
-Linda Privitera, Rector of the church of Our Savior, Arlington, Massachusetts, The Center for Progressive Christianity

"I urge one and all to make the reading of Creating Uncommon Worship a serious goal for the immediate future. This publication may challenge personal prejudices, but it may also open windows to new and positive avenues of change."
-Dr Raymond Glover, The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians

"Worship in the Cathedral is a living experience…there is a fullness of participation that expresses the priesthood of all believers. I am grateful for having been able to share in this profound celebration."
-Professor John Polkinghorne

"I have been privileged to be part of profoundly theological, as well as inspirational, worship in which all fully join."
-Bishop Frederick Houk Borsch

"What a beautiful, awesome, majestic space to worship our God, and with a liturgy to match! I felt truly alive and connected to others and wanted so much to be part of a community that is willing to try new things on our journey."
-Patty Frick, Seminary student
