  • Description

    Dan Alger, an Anglican church-planting leader, shows pastors how the rich traditions of liturgical worship are a gift to the work of starting new churches. Word and Sacrament provides a robust framework to plant gospel-faithful, missionally effective, relationally strong congregations.

    Rather than treating church planting as an entirely new or innovative enterprise, Alger emphasizes that church leaders are stewards of practices carried out by the faithful church for centuries. Recovering the foundations of our heritage can help planters establish healthier, more faithful, and more effective congregations while allowing new plants to renew ancient practices in diverse cultural settings.

    Written from an Anglican perspective to encourage both aspiring and experienced church planters, Word and Sacrament assists leaders in all traditions to better understand the why, what, and how of the task before them.
