This report is based on my experiences of a Eucharistic service which I attended on 26 March at St Andrew's Church, Epsom. The congregations that compose them can, very fundamentally, be expressed as pakeha, fifty plus, suburbs and “of means”. This doesn't speak for the entire congregation, as a few children and young adults were also present, but it gives an overview of the general makeup of the church. The context is that of a Tikanga Pakeha setting with medium to high liturgical tradition and the use of structured worship on page 404 of the New Zealand Prayer Book. The purpose of this report is to evaluate this service and my experiences within it, primarily through examination of liturgical space, use of music, hospitality, nature of worship and liturgy, the presentation of the biblical texts and the sermon, and finally my own feelings about the unfolding of the worship experience. Liturgical space The space in which Christian worship takes place, called here liturgical space, is a place of great power in which architecture and theology combine to influence worship and thought, both explicitly and implicitly. My first impression of the liturgical space at St Andrews was one of intense activity. I felt somewhat overwhelmed by the furniture, banners and decoration that hid behind, and sometimes obscured, the more traditional symbols of Church and worship, such as the stained glass windows depicting the saints and Christ, as well as the crosses and pulpits. Despite this, an important place was given to the altar table and the baptismal font, expressing the community's roots in baptism and the Eucharist. As this was a Eucharistic service, it was the prominence and details of the altar table that I paid the most attention to. Placed slightly ...... middle of paper ...... troubled by some of the words used and the movement of Eucharistic procedures from the altar table to the "upper" altar and communion rail . However, I struggled to talk about my experience of God in this service because, in the process of mentally recording and critiquing, I felt detached from worship and distant from community. However, overall I found that I was in touch with God throughout the service, with the building and leading of the service reminiscent of my home parish. I will definitely return to St Andrew's Church in Epsom, but it will probably be after Lent when a 'normal' liturgy is re-established. Works Cited Chan, Simon.
