Description - Changing Scenes by Brian Mayne

Using an autobiographical approach Brian Mayne looks at the changes in the way the Church of Ireland worships and in the way its ministry has been carried on from the time of his vocation to the church's priesthood in 1952 to his retirement in 2001. This is set against political, cultural and social change which has affected the whole island of Ireland. From a unique viewpoint he considers changes in the acceptance of authorised lay ministry, the development of non-stipendary ministry and the process which has led to the 2004 edition of the Book of Common Prayer. A critical appraisal of charismatic renewal as experienced in the Church of Ireland is included. The author also comments on his experience with Orange lodges worshipping in churches in his parishes
