Good resource

The book is a collection of prayers, vows and communion liturgy from churches and denominations around the world. I have used this book in ministry when I performed a wedding with a Methodist colleague. The new copy I recently ordered comes with a cd. The book can be helpful when you marry couples who come from different protestant denominations or for couples who like fresh and unusual prayers. It is a good addition to your wedding liturgy library.

We were lucky to find this book...

My husband and I were married last year. His family is Jewish and mine is Methodist. We were having a hard time finding a ceremony that would honor both cultures without having either (a) no mention of Christ or (b) "Christ" uttered every third word. Our minister recommended this book. We were a little leery, as the title is "Christian Weddings," but it was an excellent resource for us. It gives you many different versions of each section of the ceremony (i.e. exchanging of rings, vows, greeting, etc). Assuming your minister will work with you, you can put a ceremony together by picking and choosing what you like. We were able to do that--and our ceremony was beautiful. Most important, we were both very comfortable with it.
