Rivers’ Vision of Effective Worship." In it, Mary gives a helpful summary of Fr. Rivers’ liturgical vision and the innovative contributions he made in the field of liturgical theology.

Rivers’ music and scholarly work and how she synthesized his deeply sacramental vision for effective worship for the benefit of modern academic liturgical studies.
