B. Don Taylor has been co-director of his parish altar guild with his wife, Mary Ann, and has developed self-paced training materials for such major companies as Xerox Corporation and Eaton Corporation.
"...a clear and logically-paced guide to learning about and
preparing the church--its space and furnishings--for worship...I
thoroughly enjoyed this book, learned a great deal, and will
certainly recommend it to others."
--Travis Du Priest, The Living Church
"Altar guild members are shown how to become "stage managers" for
the Passion play that Episcopalians attend and participate in
weekly...covers every detail of what [Taylor] humorously terms the
"props," the "stage," the "holy hardware," the "costumes," and
more. Following a brief history of altar guilds, the guide explains
physical aspects of the Eucharist, uses and care for vestments,
vessels, and linens, along with a thorough review of the seasons of
the Christian year."
--Cokesbury Episcopal Resource Catalog
"Mr. Taylor has produced a comprehensive, well-organized, and
practical altar guild manual...There are numerous illustrations,
checklists, and diagrams to enliven the text and provide a ‘show
and tell' for both new and experienced guild members...Taylor has
made his subject seem totally approachable."
--Peggy Chittum, Journal of Women's Ministries
"It is written in a bright and breezy style and is accompanied by a
multitude of clear line drawings which illustrate the text. Both
the printing and the layout are exceptionally easy to read and the
book includes a comprehensive index at the beginning and a glossary
at the back which are valuable for quick reference...In all, a
wealth of information, attractively packaged...a valuable addition
to any parish reference library."
--Carol Fenley, ECW Communique
