1 This is a comprehensive, though not exhaustive, bibliography of the most

important sources for the twentieth-century liturgical renewal of the church
commonly referred to simply as The Liturgical Movement. It traces the sources
found in the three most important branches of the liturgical renewal: the Roman
Catholic Church (both in continental Europe and in the United States), the Anglican
churches (both the Church of England and The Episcopal Church), and the Orthodox
churches.
