The Church of South India Book of Common Worship

Published by the Church of South India

Authorized by the Synod of the Church of South India 2004

The Church of South India Book of Common Worship conserves

the rich liturgical heritage of the Church of South India, allowing

freedom and giving space to the congregations to own, internalise

and contextualise worship according to the needs of the particular

local congregation. The congregations that use the Church of South

India Book of Common Worship are at once set in the ambience of

the universal Church, and are exhorted to take their particular

contextual experiences of, and with, God into the liturgical faith-

experience.

The Church of South India Book of Common Worship is not

only a worship manual, but also aims at educating and equipping

congregations in mission. The book constitutes a valuable resource

that provides authentic theological insights and perspectives and

contributes to the deepening of our spirituality.
