It is also relevant to the contemporary study of the liturgy of Christian initiation... McGrail's book is essential to all who wish to work in this field.’ Anaphora ’McGrail’s stimulating survey of the ritual of first communion across the twentieth century does not offer easy answers to the perennial but renegotiated imperative upon the church to be ’in the world but not of it’, but it does offer a fascinating picture of the ways in which many contemporary English Catholics are reconciling and resolving these contradictions for themselves.’ Ecclesiology 'Father McGrail is to be commended on producing this fine volume of material and perhaps he could be encouraged to publish further monographs on issues surrounding liturgy and the reception of the sacraments. This would indeed be a worthy act of service to the Catholic community.' Usus Antiquior»
