""In Full Communion with Us, Paul Turner brings much-needed clarity to the often-confused practice of celebrating sacraments with baptized candidates. He carefully distinguishes their path from that of catechumens, honoring their prior Christian journey of faith while faithfully explaining the Church’s vision for their reception into full communion. Turner’s clear, pastoral style makes this book a must-read for every parish serious about welcoming baptized Christians into the full communion of the Catholic Church with the dignity, understanding, and care they deserve."" Nick Wagner, Codirector of Team Initiation and author of Field Hospital Catechesis: The Core Content for RCIA Formation

Nick Wagner, Codirector of Team Initiation and author of Field Hospital Catechesis: The Core Content for RCIA Formation “Paul Turner’s latest exploration of the revised liturgical books skillfully weaves the history of welcoming the already baptized into the Catholic church, with the how and why of the rite today. With his characteristically well-researched explanations of what has changed, what hasn’t, and the theological and pastoral reasonings for both, Paul not only breaks open the liturgical text, but offers pragmatic advice for preparing candidates, celebrating their reception, and helping them live out their communion fully.” Rev. Michael L. Lewis, pastor, Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, and director of the Office of Worship for the Diocese of El Paso, Texas
