![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How I spend this ordinary day in Christ is how I will spend my Christian life.” Warren, an Anglican priest, writes: “If I am to spend my whole life being transformed by the good news of Jesus, I must learn how grand, sweeping truths - doctrine, theology, ecclesiology, Christology - rub against the texture of an average day. In her book, Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life (2016, InterVarsity Press), Tish Harrison Warren, releases the ancient word from its traditional roots and refurbishes the idea of the liturgy into a heartfelt pursuit of integrating Christ into daily activities. It has a backstory that includes the Protestant Reformation which saw the implementation of many changes in the church, including a massive revision of the liturgy. The word liturgy also rings of church history. What comes to your mind when you read the word liturgy?
