About ML:
-
Ministry & Liturgy is a magazine in its 32nd year of service.
For 25 years it was known as Modern Liturgy (ML), and although the
name has changed it continues to carry the ML nickname.
-
Ministry & Liturgy is a primary resource for liturgists and
pastoral ministers. It 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.
