In Spirit and Truth Black Catholic Reflections on the Order of the Mass

In Spirit and Truth: Black Catholic Reflections on the Order of the Mass by the Black Liturgy Subcommittee, Committee on the Liturgy, National Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1987

The basic thrust of In Spirit and Truth is to review each element of the Order of Mass, describing what choices are permitted or encouraged, and offering commentary on those elements, especially, but not exclusively, for the celebration of the Eucharist in Black or predominantly Black parishes. In Spirit and Truth was written by Black Catholics for the Church. We hope that this work will be received in the spirit in which it was composed, as a sincere .effort to encourage Black Catholics to utilize fully all of the present options and opportunities to bring our cultural treasures to the worship life of the Church we love.
