This book contains newly redacted offices, orders, prayers and blessings in Revised Liturgical English® (RLE) that form a practical handbook for the administration of Orthodox Christian parish needs.

- Prayers for women & infants
- Prayer for a woman in difficult labor

- Blessing of the marriage of heterodox converts
- Prayers for the reestablishment of a marriage after a divorce
- Prayer after an attempted suicide

- Service of Burial for a non-Orthodox
- Prayers at the induction of parish officers
- Various blessings of liturgical objects
