Summary

As Latino congregations continue to grow in the Episcopal Church, there is a concomitant need for good Spanish-language formation resources for all age groups. Anne Kitch's book has received widespread acclaim and has been cited by the Episcopal Church's Office of Hispanic Ministries as an excellent example of what seekers in Latino congregations need. The Spanish-language edition of What We Do in Church will include Dorothy Perez's original illustrations, somewhat adapted to reflect the multi-ethnic demographic of Latino congregations in various parts of the United States and Central America. The wonderful sights, sounds, and smells of the Anglican liturgy can engage the imagination of young children and draw them into enthusiastic worship. But it can be a bit confusing as well. Through the interactive games and puzzles in this fun-filled activity book, children ages 4-7 can grow to a deeper understanding of Anglican worship life. From learning about the participants in the entry processional, to coloring the vestments of the priest and deacon, to identifying the amazing things their senses tell them about the Eucharist, this book is a treasure trove for kids and adults. Forty one-page activities are followed by a four-page parent guide designed to promote parenting in the pews and offer tips for parents and other educators using these activities with children. Permission to copy the pages for use in church or school is included in the book.
