Historical Research: 16th Century to the Present
Mission Statement
The work of the Historical Research seminar is not restricted by theme, geographic location, or ecclesiastical tradition, but by time period: our papers and discussions address liturgies and liturgical issues from the sixteenth century to the present. Studies, analyses, and comparisons from various traditions and experiences are invited.
