ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to analyse the comments made by 133 rural lay people who voiced their views on, and experience of, the move to online provision of worship services during the Covid-19 pandemic. Issues identified centred on the content and structure of such worship with virtual Holy Communion being the service most frequently mentioned as cause for concern. Overall, however, rural lay people were positive about their experience. In particular, the opportunities online worship provided for increasing communication among and across congregations, for growing church numbers and attracting previously hard-to-reach groups, and for the ways in which it was enriching worshipping life by increasing choice and access to a wider range of services. Going forward these rural lay people were optimistic that worship that continued to respect the importance of gathering in the church building could be combined with some level of online provision.

contains a breadth of experience and expertise. Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi is a Roman Catholic Redemptorist Brother and a professor in Spain and the United States. Although Catholic social ethics inform the first chapters of the book, its bedrock lies in the thinking of Aristotle. With a rejection of individualistic Enlightenment philosophy we are given, in modern dress, the Aristotelian concepts of Eudaimonia, Aretē, and Philia, which he calls happiness, virtue, and love. What gives this book its distinctiveness is that a breadth of ecumenical scholarship is unfolded with ease. This is facilitated by an excellent translation. The book is in two parts. The first deals with ethical thinking set alongside developments in Form Criticism, Christology, and what Kaminouchi calls ‘the grammar of ethics’. Stretching from Schweitzer to Bultmann, Kaminouchi concludes that what we read in the New Testament is the faith and questions of those who lived and wrote in the times after those who could remember Jesus had died. The second part of the book explores happiness in relation to the Trinity, virtue in relation to the Beatitudes and love expressed in the Summary of the Law. The author states his position early in a way which guides the reader through the chapters. We know where he stands, ‘. . . the cause of the crisis in the Western world is a cultural, economic and political system that has rejected, in the name of individual freedom, the project of a happiness shared with others’. Rejecting a ‘case study’method of doing ethics we are offered a new paradigm of discipleship lived in relation to others and in our local communities. In all later discussions he insists that the starting point is an existential one – echoing but not developing Bonhoeffer – how do I respond to the call of Jesus to live responsibly today? For this philosopher scholar and priest here is a choice for us all – a life of ‘utility’ looking after ourselves or a life of ‘happiness, virtue, and love’ which is only possible when we chose to live a life of discipleship in relation to others in community. He believes emphatically that in rural or urban church settings there is an imperative to work with others of any belief in ways which will develop local identity. This is particularly opportune in multi-congregation parish groupings. For the application of Christian ethics in the modern world Kaminouchi is wide ranging in his choice of sources but relies for a critique of modernity on the Scottish philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre. The book has no index but a useful short bibliography of each of the main writers discussed. Helpfully, the definition of the Christian life which gives Kaminouchi the most satisfaction is ‘faith seeking understanding’.
包含广泛的经验和专业知识。Alberto de Mingo Kaminouchi是一名罗马天主教救赎会修士，在西班牙和美国担任教授。虽然天主教的社会伦理贯穿全书的前几章，但它的基石在于亚里士多德的思想。随着对个人主义启蒙哲学的拒绝，我们得到了亚里士多德的尤达莫尼亚、阿雷特和菲利亚的现代概念，他称之为幸福、美德和爱。这本书的独特之处在于，它轻松地展现了基督教学术的广度。这得益于优秀的翻译。这本书分为两部分。第一部分是关于伦理思维的，它与形式批判、基督论以及神内所称的“伦理语法”的发展相结合。从史怀哲到布尔特曼，Kaminouchi总结说，我们在新约中读到的是那些生活和写作的人的信仰和问题，那些人能够记住耶稣已经死了。本书的第二部分探讨了幸福与三位一体的关系，美德与八福的关系，以及在《律法概要》中表达的爱。作者在一开始就陈述了他的立场，以引导读者通过各章。我们知道他的立场……西方世界危机的根源是一种文化、经济和政治制度，这种制度以个人自由的名义拒绝了与他人分享幸福的计划。拒绝“案例研究”的伦理方法，我们提供了一种与他人和当地社区相关的门徒生活的新范例。在后来的所有讨论中，他坚持认为起点是存在主义的——呼应而不是发展朋霍费尔——我如何回应耶稣的召唤，在今天负责任地生活?对于这位哲学家、学者和牧师来说，我们所有人都有一个选择——是“功利”地照顾自己的生活，还是“幸福、美德和爱”的生活，只有当我们选择过一种与社区中的其他人关系密切的门徒生活时，这种生活才有可能。他强调，在农村或城市的教会环境中，有必要与任何信仰的人合作，以发展当地身份。这在多会众的教区团体中尤其合适。对于基督教伦理在现代世界的应用，Kaminouchi选择的来源很广泛，但他对现代性的批评依赖于苏格兰哲学家Alasdair MacIntyre。这本书没有索引，但有一个有用的简短参考书目，介绍了每一位讨论过的主要作家。有益的是，给神内最满意的基督徒生活的定义是“寻求理解的信仰”。

Here is a book by a Church of Scotland minister immersed both in the Psalter and in the contemporary world and experiences of Christian disciples, living, working, engaging in acts of public worship, and spending time alone in meditation and prayer. In this book Lezley Stewart is re-imagining the Psalms for public worship and for private devotion. In so doing she communicates her passion for accessible and meaningful worship that connects life and faith together. The Psalter is a rich resource that captures and expresses the full range of human experience and human emotion coming face-to-face with the creator God and with the complexities and contradictions of living in the creator’s universe that is viewed as good, fallen, and redeemed. The individual Psalms were crafted in a different age and against a different tapestry of thought from that we inhabit today. Lezley Stewart is not offering fresh translation of these ancient Psalms but re-imagining them in a creative and inspirational way. Here are newly crafted Psalms grounded firmly in the tradition, and organised according to six main themes: refuge, created, lament, centre, pathway, and refreshment. My attention was caught most powerfully by the section on lamentation, drawing on Psalms 22, 55, and 77. Here we are reminded that lamentation is a release of the deepest and most profound emotion before God. Nothing is off limits in open exchange with God. True lament can be life enriching; but Lezley Stewart is well aware that those who facilitate lament must also be pastorally sensitive to how people might respond. Here is an enriching resource for public worship and for personal devotion.
