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.
