About the Book:
This timely book breaks new ground. It explores sacraments from an original point of view; a synodal approach to sacraments is novel. It is written in an accessible style, sensitively engages with the issues surrounding sacraments today and proposes a synodal response. It exposes the weaknesses in the way sacraments are ‘used’ as cultural rites of passage or a means of showcasing a school. The way in which synodality is interpreted in the book provides a means of breaking out of this truncated view. It proposes, for example, that parents who wish their children to receive Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist should be offered courses so that they understand the richness and responsibility of presenting their children for these sacraments.
