Have you ever come across a word or phrase in liturgical books or conversation that was new to you? Did you ever wonder why we call the lectern an ambo? What does the phrase ex opere operato mean?
The National Association of Pastoral Musicians has a "Liturgical Decoder" online. While it isn't exhaustive, it is a useful first resource when we come across a word or phrase that is foreign to us or when we want to learn the origin of a particular word. The answers are clear and succinct and the information is reliable.
While you are on the NPM website, check out some of their other excellent resources.
