Deacons in the Liturgy, Second Edition
Ormonde Plater. Deacons in the Liturgy, Second Edition (Church Publishing, New York, 2009)
Deacons are called to be heralds of the Word, servants of the Church, and agents of the bishop. This practical, popular, and completely revised handbook offers important information to help deacons participate and serve in the liturgy with grace, and sensitive to the needs of the presider and the people. An indispensable guide, Deacons in the Liturgy helps communities of faith use their deacons in ways appropriate to the dignity and meaning of the order. Readers will learn how to better employ the diaconate to enhance the liturgy and to express baptismal ministry in the life and worship of the Church.
Sure, they're cheaper at Amazon.com, but are theirs autographed?
