From Easter to Holy Week
The Paschal Mystery and Liturgical Renewal in the Twentieth Century
Series: - Anglican-Episcopal Theology and History, Volume: 5
Author:
The story of the twentieth-century Liturgical Movement is, more than anything else, about the rediscovery and renewed understanding of the fundamental reality of the Paschal Mystery and of the Paschal identity of the Church. This identity is expressed and celebrated whenever the Body of Christ â every member â welcomes new members in the waters of baptism and feasts with them in the Eucharist, especially as these are celebrated during Holy Week.
This book explores this rediscovery, first in the Roman Catholic Church and then in the Episcopal Church and other Churches of the Anglican Communion, and looks in particular at how both grassroots and official work played a role in renewing and restoring the liturgical celebrations of Holy Week.

Laura E. Moore, Th.D. (2011), The General Theological Seminary (New York, NY), is Parish Administrator at All Saints Episcopal Parish in Hoboken, NJ, and former Adjunct Professor of Liturgics at The General Theological Seminary. She is a member of the North American Academy of Liturgy, where she participates in The Advent Project seminar, and she was a contributing author for Planning Rites and Rituals (New York: Church Publishing, 2017).
"Laura Mooreâs clear and readable book is a real contribution to the history of the liturgical and ecumenical movements and delivers a great gift to the Episcopal Church, specifically in its telling of the history of these rites which have come to carry such rich and spiritually powerful theological freight in the spiritual lives of its members. Given how much ground is covered, this volume would be a welcome contribution to seminary classrooms." Matthew S.C. Olver, Nashotah House Theological Seminary, in: Ecclesiology 16 (2020).
"This well-written book effectively weaves together many threads of twentieth-century liturgical developments, official and unofficial, showing clearly how a renewed understanding of paschal mystery emerged in the Episcopal Church. Mooreâs work should be welcomed by all who are interested in the ongoing work of liturgical renewal and Anglican prayer book revision." - Rev. Dr. Ruth A. Meyers, Dean of Academic Affairs and Hodges-Haynes Professor of Liturgics, Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Berkeley, California
"Laura Mooreâs timely volume chronicles The Episcopal Churchâs ambitious quest of rediscovering âpaschal mysteryâ as the heart of Christian identity, vocation, and mission. However, she takes us on much more than a tour of decades and centuries past. She turns our gaze to the horizon, reminding us what remains at stake as the church navigates uncertain twenty-first century waters, and setting our compass for a promising course forward. A significant contribution to the work of scholar, student, and practitioner alike!" - Rev. Dr. D. Jay Koyle, Chair of Faith, Worship and Ministry for The Anglican Church of Canada
