MINISTRY & LITURGY is a new name for a magazine in its 29th year
of service. For years it has been known as ML, and it will continue to
carry that nickname. But its former formal name, MODERN LITURGY, has slowly
eased off center stage. This change brings the name of the publication
to the same place the content has always been, namely, practical resources
for all ministry personnel.
MINISTRY & LITURGY (ML) is a professional
magazine for members of the parish ministry team. It is dedicated to exploring
the connection between liturgy and life, unpacking the treasures of the
Roman liturgy, and helping ministers use the visual, musical, lively, poetic,
and environmental arts to shape liturgies to their local culture. Below
you will find tables of contents of recent issues. A portion of the content
is available on-line to give you an idea of what each issue contains. Enjoy.
