Andrew's new book, [*Spirit and Sacrament: An Invitation to Eucharismatic Worship*](https://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Sacrament-Invitation-Eucharismatic-Worship/dp/0310536472?ref=mereorthodoxy.com)*,* is just that: an invitation to have and experience charismatic worship while also holding to a high view of the sacraments. The crew sat down to discuss the book and also distinguish between what it means to be a "bouncy" charismatic and a "dusty" Anglican.

**Timestamps:** 

Overview of the book, answering the question as to why liturgical and sacramental churches often do not mesh with emotive charismatic churches \[2:00 - 4:00\].

Why a structured order of worship does not constrict the expressiveness of worship \[6:15 - 8:40\].

Why and how different kinds of behavior and personal dispositions help to inform their counterparts and ultimately seek to unify the church \[8:40 -15:14\].

Answering the question as to why emotive expressions of worship are often made to be spontaneous \[15:14 - 24:00\].

Why the book does not advocate for a separation or truncated view of the Spirit and the administration of the sacraments \[24:00 - 26:15\].

Andrew argues for why and how Eucharismatic worship is what is needed to avoid the spectacle of "rock concert worship" \[26:15 - 29:37\].

Answering the question as to how this kind of worship leads to an individual’s understanding and practice of spiritual gifts and their empowerment outside of the Sunday service \[29:37 -33:04\].

Answering how this view practically plays out in a church and speaks to different contexts, encouraging and challenging those from either charismatic or high church bents to embrace each other \[33:04 - 34:00\]

Conclusion, announcing special offer to supporters of the show \[34:00 - 36:52\].
