The articles made available here come from "On The Move," a publication of "new learning possibilities for churches", at one time published by The Joint Board of Christian Education of Australia and New Zealand. Although some ideas and liturgies may appear somewhat "dated" in style, concept, imagery or language, they may nevertheless offer a spring-board for new ideas among people who find themselves leading worship, perhaps in a new context, and with some trepidation.
