Common Worship: Pastoral Services offers liturgical material for the journey of each individual through life. For each key element of this journey (birth, marriage, healing, death), it provides both material for key 'public' events and resources for 'private' pastoral care.

It includes the services of Marriage, Funeral, Wholeness and Healing, Emergency Baptism and Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child, alongside prayers for Ministry to the Sick and Prayers for Use with the Dying.

This second edition has been updated to include the full texts of the funeral psalms, the traditional language marriage service and the traditional language funeral service (the Alternative Services).
