Three churches have recently produced liturgies for »extended communion ». This is the distribution of previously consecrated elements at a public service by lay people or a deacon in the absence of a priest. This development began in the Roman Catholic Church with the Vatican »Directory on Sunday Worship in the absence of a priest » in 1988. The Methodist Church produced a service of Extended Communion in 1999, and the Church of England authorized »Public Worship with Communion by Extension » in 2001. In this book Phillip Tovey examines these churches to discover the reasons for the production of these services and their theological rationale. An in-depth examination of case studies draws conclusions highly relevant to the wider church.
