Offers reflections on the church and its ministry and moves to helping a congregation "implement" a baptismal ecclesiology in practical ways. Among the issues and functions addressed are: the liturgical space and its setting, the need for an aura of abundance, accessibility, child care, ushers, and even the altar guild.

What does it really mean to "proclaim the good news of God in Christ" and to "continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers?" These promises from the baptismal rite of the Book of Common Prayer have become very familiar to most Episcopalians, but they have yet to be fully lived out in most congregations. In this lively and accessible guide, Clayton Morris argues that everyone present on Sunday mornings has a ministry of hospitality, coming together in a proclamation of welcome to all.

Clayton L. Morris is retired from the Episcopal Church's staff as officer for liturgy and music. The wisdom he offers in Holy Hospitality is drawn from his many years of experience as a parish priest.
