‘Shape’ a word of the C of E at this juncture of the 21st century. It is used in a number of contexts; in this instance the authors of this collection of papers (from the International Anglican Liturgical Consultation of 2003) use it with reference to liturgical formation. The people of God are formed by many factors; one of them is liturgy, and the contributors seek to explain how this works in practice. The book is not intended merely for internal Anglican consumption however, as the Archbishop of Canterbury makes clear in his forward, (this is the second volume of the series), it is hoped that this volume will make its contribution to the on-going task of identifying Anglican identity.
