Liturgical Studies |
My liturgical interests include baptism, Christian initiation of infants, eucharist, the marriage liturgy, liturgical year, lectionary, liturgy and justice, liturgy and ecumenism, lay liturgical leadership, liturgical language, inclusion of women and children in the liturgy, and Sunday worship without eucharist. I believe that liturgical reform and renewal must continue in the 21st century and that critical reflection on the verbal, nonverbal and musical dimensions of the liturgy is always needed.
