In the tradition of the medieval cycle plays performed for education, enrichment, and entertainment, A New Corpus Christi: Plays for Churches presents 25 short plays and skits with one or two scripts for each of 21 events in the church year. The scripts range from celebratory pieces to problem plays to liturgical dramas to plays that call for no worship setting accouterments. The scripts will also provide discussion starters for Sunday school classes or small groups. And some of the plays might be grouped together as programs on particular topics such as poverty and homelessness or death and dying. This book also provides a resource for university and seminary courses in liturgics and worship.

Reviews for A New Corpus Christi: Plays for Churches

"""If your church is looking to do something a little edgy, something that might even take guts, then take and read. Norman A. Bert’s plays have grit and marrow and will definitely get the people talking in the parking lot afterward.” —Rev. Ryon Price, M.Div., Senior Pastor, Broadway Baptist Church, Fort Worth, Texas “Norman A. Bert is priested with a rare gift: his writings offer a unique theological dialectic where not only do scripture and the Christian faith speak to the human condition, but the human condition imaginatively ‘speaks back’ to scripture and the Christian faith. If your faith community struggles each holiday season with how to bring fresh spiritual insights into the most familiar and sometimes hackneyed Christian narratives and holy days, Bert’s plays offer creative and thought-provoking alternatives to celebrating our most treasured Christian traditions.” —Rev. David Lee Jones, Th.D., Director, Doctor of Ministry Program, Nashotah House Theological Seminary"
