It's by following the instructions in the (Abiding) book that the Liturgist works the magic that he does. Whether this is an exercise of rational thinking (and thus describable as sorcery) or a leap of faith is a hairy philosophical argument best avoided.
I did once write in an early draft that the standard Malkioni worship ceremony is basically the summoning of an epiphany that convinces people that God exists. I dunno how true this is tho.
