Sunday worship is the central act of the Christian faith, yet few people truly understand what is happening during the service, and why, and how. Based on numerous visits with congregations of many denominations, Jane Rogers Vann examines how we can eliminate the barrier between the preacher and the people in the pew and offers practical advice directed not just toward church leaders but to worship committees and church members—all who are yearning to be fully engaged in worship. Photographs of many of the churches she visited are included.|Sunday worship is the central act of the Christian faith, yet few people truly understand what is happening during the service, and why, and how.
