The February 18 Liturgical Arts & Music issue of The Living Church is available online to registered subscribers.
Our cover story profiles Bryan Marshall, who spent 50 years helping churches design stained-glass windows with J. Wippell & Co. Marshall is now completing his final commission (the last in 200 years of stained glass for the now-shuttered company), a Te Deum window for St. David of Wales in Denton, Texas.
Our News section takes us to the Texas Hill Country and to Sydney, Australia, where congregations are supporting communities devastated by flooding and anti-Semitic violence. Mark Michael summarizes responses by two of the Anglican Communion’s most progressive churches to important restructuring proposals.
George Martin offers tips for lectors in this liturgy-themed issue, and Duo Dickinson explores how church design is adapting to secularizing changes. Reviews focus on a new musical about the vision at Lourdes, a groundbreaking recording of Mozart’s Requiem, and books about liturgical history, ceremonial, and aesthetics.
All this plus more news, features, commentary, book reviews, People & Places, and Sunday’s Readings, from an independent voice serving the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion since 1878. Consider subscribing today.
