We thank the Rev Dr Elizabeth Smith, Mission Priest, Parish of The Goldfields, for these liturgical resources. Elizabeth is also a member of the General Synod Liturgy Commission:
The first file (Word, because so much easier for people to cut and paste into their service booklets or PowerPoint presentations) is a set of Easter season Eucharistic “other suitable words” with a hope and mission theme, for communities that still use APBA Second Order Holy Communion, which is what it is designed to go into.
The second file (also a Word document) is was developed for St John’s Kalgoorlie’s upcoming “open house.” It’s a collection of blessings for various categories of people—some drawn from APBA, others created more locally and in a more conversational tone. The idea is that these blessings can be (a) offered spontaneously to visitors during the open house and (b) printed for people to take home.
