In this book, French bishop Albert Rouet outlines how these two gifts of God belong together. Liturgy is the work of the people of God. It is by nature a collaborative effort where meaning is explored, time is sanctified, memory is probed, reverence and thanksgiving proclaimed. The liturgy provides a seedbed for creativity via architecture, music, sculpture, stained glass, weaving, painting, singing, and much more. Bishop Rouet believes that the arts are essential for worship. They help us to savor the sacred in the ordinary and to express mystery and beauty. In the context of worship the arts are given an amplitude that enriches them. The author reflects upon the ways in which sacred space, music, and dance can celebrate the glory of God. Liturgy and the Arts is a good primer on a salutary alliance that far too often is underemphasized in Christian circles.
