This book offers a comprehensive examination and analysis of Methodist practice, tracing its evolution from the earliest days up to the end of the twentieth century. Karen Westerfield Tucker looks beyond and behind the official liturgical texts to discover the processes and influences - ecclesiastical, social, and cultural - that motivated Methodists to rethink and reorganize their worship theology and praxis."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0603/99049346-d.html ER -
