The Church of South India Book of Common Worship conserves the rich liturgical heritage of the Church of South India, allowing freedom and giving space to the congregations to own, internalise and contextualise worship according to the needs of the particular local congregation. The congregations that use the Church of South India Book of Common Worship are at once set in the ambience of the universal Church, and are exhorted to take their particular contextual experiences of, and with, God into the liturgical faith- experience.

The Church of South India Book of Common Worship is not only a worship manual, but also aims at educating and equipping congregations in mission. The book constitutes a valuable resource that provides authentic theological insights and perspectives and contributes to the deepening of our spirituality.
