I love it. This is one of the best statements of our Church for the training of Elders and Deacons in this important area of Worship and Sacraments. Beside the knowledge of liturgy in the common worship, this helps them cop with the practice of our understanding of "The Priesthood of All Believers." While many seem unecessarily botherded by "too much polity and discipline," this statement touches upon the most essential of our common ministry.
