"Unlike liturgical manuals of the past, which were intended specifically for the use of the clergy, this book is directed to a wider audience--to members of parish worship committees, priests, organists and directors of music, lectors, deacons, cantors and other singers, bishops, altar guild members, acolytes--in short, to all who bear responsability for the planning and conduct of public worship." --from the Preface So begins Howard Galley\'s classic Guide to the Eucharistic liturgy, The Ceremonies of the Eucharist.
Before his death in 1993, Galley also served as editor for The Prayer Book Office, Morning and Evening Prayer, The Altar Book, and Lesser Feasts and Fasts..
His immense knowledge of liturgy, language, and church tradition permeates that revision, as well as The Occasional Services.
GALLEY was the working editor of the Episcopal Church\'s 1979 revision of The Book of Common Prayer.
