Extract

Since the first Synod of the Church of South India elected a standing Liturgy Committee and assigned it as its first task the drafting of an order for the Lord's Supper, that committee has never been without work in hand. SJT has from time to time given the hospitality of its pages to reports of the committee's progress, the most recent being Doing Over a Liturgy by the Rev. J. R. Macphail, which appeared in the issue of December 1954 and gave an account of our revision of An Order for the Lord's Supper. This present essay may be regarded as continuing in the same series and reporting on our experimental production of An Order for Holy Baptism, which was the task we undertook and completed in 1954. Our intention is to revise it together with An Order for Reception into Full Membership of the Church or Confirmation after about five years of use, when we hope to have an adequate body of criticisms to guide us.

page 385 note 1 All these services, together with Daily Bible Readings and Bible Readings and Collects for Sundays and Other Special Days with Proper Prefaces, are published by the Oxford University Press in India and may be obtained from the same publishers in Great Britain.

page 389 note 1 There has been an unfortunate omission of ‘the communion of saints’ in the first edition of the Order which will be corrected in later impressions. The Church of South India, so far from wishing to omit the profession of belief in the communion of saints, earnestly desires the union of all the faithful in one communion and fellowship!
