This book is about "living with Leviathan," the modern state. As the power of government has increased, is increasing, and shows no sign of diminishing, it becomes a sprawling organism which will serve the public interest only if people think hard about what they want from it. It has to become more sensitive to the knowledge explosion (particularly in the social sciences) and the revolution in morality. The theme has provoked an inclusive collection of critical essays probing, and thus hoping to shape, the future society and politics of Canada in the new climate of opinion that has followed the election as Prime Minister of Pierre Trudeau. The essays come from the University League for Social Reform, an informal group of university professors, young rather than old, to the left rather than the right, who meet together in Toronto each year to discuss some aspect of the problem of the relationship of Canadians to their society, their government, and their future. Academics interested in influencing policy, they like to think of themselves of the first wave of the drive for Ivory Power.

Worship is a dynamic, living encounter that should never be static. In the Church of England, although Common Worship provides texts for every season and occasion, the church constantly needs to refresh its worship, just as it reshapes its presence in local communities. In this comprehensive volume, a wide range of experienced liturgists, musicians and pastoral practitioners consider the principles that will determine the character and quality, as well as the content, of our worship in the future.It explores how new forms can meet new needs while remaining faithful to the church’s essential understanding of worship. Over twenty chapters consider how emerging forms of worship can be:- Relational, accessible and inclusive- Rooted in Scripture, the Creeds, and Spirit-filled- Sacramental, symbolic and multi-sensory - Transformative, pastoral and prophetic The contributors are all members of the Group for the Renewal of Worship, a broadly evangelical group within the Church of England and including senior clergy, musicians, theological college tutors in liturgy and former members of the Liturgical Commission.
