The Book of Worship which is sequential to the Bicentennial Hymnal is an historical document for the African Methodist Episcopal Church, especially since it is the first such compendium developed. It comes at a unique, as well as a critical, period in the life of our church. It is critical in that there appears to be an assault on what has been essential form in Methodist worship. It is unique because African Methodism faces the third century as a “Liberating and Reconciling People”; and, therefore, must be open to explore new styles without dismantling all that is old. The work encompasses the traditional orders of services and liturgies as commonly practiced in our congregations. In addition, there is a glossary and a number of new services included, which we believe meet contemporary needs, and enhance a broader scope of the Church’s liturgical and spiritual life. The Book is designed as a companion to the new Hymnal. It should provide both clergy and lay persons with a meaningful worship guide in the dual task of nurturing the community of faith and calling Christ to the attention of the unbeliever.
