In recent years there has been a groundswell of interest on how Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) can best be harnessed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the
Catholic liturgy. Accordingly the book discusses the future of worship at a time of digital
explosion in the Christian Churches as expended through the lenses of the Second Vatican
Council's interdisciplinary document titled Inter Mirifica 13. While the nexus between ICT and
Liturgy may seem obvious the deep connections and the many possibilities for the 21st century
e-worship are yet to be significantly explored. When not handled well they will lead to
cataclysmic destruction of liturgical heritage and patrimony. Nonetheless exploring ICT for
e-worship the book advocates for adherence to guidelines in liturgical celebrations. Hence
the book discloses the meaning theology types prospects uses and abuses in ICT for digital
worship. This book will make a vital contribution not only to scholarship in liturgical studies
in Africa but also as a catalyst towards a simplified consolidation to the practice of
Christian worship in the world today. Emmanuel Chinedu Anagwo PhD (Sacred Liturgy) PhD
