This is a resource book for anyone who is planning a baptism, naming ceremony, wedding or civil partnership. It also contains resources to mark many of the other significant moments of our nights and days.

Although a number of complete liturgies are included, most of the material consists of the stuff that liturgies are made of: responses, readings, rituals, actions, biblical reflections, poems, songs and prayers.

This is a companion book to Saying Goodbye, a resource book for funerals.
