You Have Put On Christ
In our parishes, Sunday by Sunday, we give and we receive. Whether it is as a reader, a presider, a musician or other liturgical minister or as a member of the congregation we are called to live out our baptism when we put on Christ. In the celebration of the liturgy we come together to become the Body of Christ. When we pray or sing it is Christ who prays and sings; when proclaim or hear the Word it is Christ who speaks.
Our Summer School will reflect on ministry: what are the demands of being a liturgical minister, where can we find nourishment so that we grow in our role, how can we recognise Christ in what we do? The Summer School returns to Worth Abbey and is for all who have a liturgical ministry - up the front leading the prayer or in the back row as a member of the liturgical assembly.
The week includes a full programme of talks, workshops, seminars and liturgical celebrations - as well as opportunities for rest, recollection and socialising.
Our Summer School Leaders are Martin Foster (Acting Secretary of the Liturgy Office) and Stephen Dean (Composer, Publisher, Music advisor to the Diocese of East Anglia), with Michael Joncas (Professor of Catholic Studies at University of Minnesota, Priest, Composer), Paula Bailey (Adult Education Adviser for Nottingham Diocese), Martin Jakubas (Parish Priest in Arundel & Brighton diocese and Liturgist) and Daniel Bath (Composer, Choir director and Jazz pianist
