Catalyst: "The Bishop is Coming! A Practical Guide for Bishops and Congregations" from Church Publishing, Inc., by Paul V. Marshall, 128 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $12
[Source: Church Publishing, Inc.] This short book has a dual purpose and is aimed at two audiences: Through practical instruction and guidance, it equips bishops to minister effectively as the chief pastor in the diocese, while helping clergy and congregations reduce the eternal anxiety around the words, "The bishop is coming." Realizing that ceremonial custom varies among dioceses and congregations, the author lays out some normative principles that should be followed in all liturgies at which the bishop presides or is present. His clear, engaging, and often humorous style will put the reader at ease when dealing with ceremonial material.
