Have you ever done anything with the St. Thomas Mass? We’re doing a version of one here at my new church in July, and I’m really looking forward to it. For me, I appreciate the way that it re-imagines worship and leaves room for creativity within the existing structure of the Catholic/Lutheran/Episcopal liturgy.

“Alternative Worship” is pretty great. We used it a lot with our campus ministry. Have you checked out the materials coming from http://www.proost.co.uk/ ?
Thanks for your work on this and the freeness of the pdf. I’ve always wished I could sit in and experience .be. Great work!
