Emerging Critical Resources for Liturgical Studies
Mission Statement
The Emerging Critical Resources for Liturgical Studies Seminar considers the relevance of critical questions and readings in contemporary philosophy, theology, and critical theory for the study of liturgy. It seeks to be attentive to a different language and asks about the implications for the liturgy, both practical and theological. What new avenues are opened by this provocation of thought that pushes theologians out of their familiar framework?
