Liturgy Digest
What is Liturgy Digest?
Liturgy
Digest, by Nathan D. Mitchell, is a resource designed for educators,
liturgists, pastoral ministers, students and clergy who want to keep abreast
of developments in the liturgical field and related disciplines.
Issues range from 100-150 pages in length. In addition to articles on the topic (the "Reports" section), most issues contain a bibliography (the "Resources" section) and a Lexicon. The Lexicon identifies key words and concepts which surface in the "Reports" section of the Digest. It offers definitions and examples of new or renewed ideas that are emerging in the field of liturgical studies.
