Liturgical Theology
Mission Statement
The Liturgical Theology Seminar devotes its sessions to papers, prepared by members of the group, which concentrate on either: 1) a theology of liturgy, i.e., a theological reflection on the practice of worship; or 2) theology informed by liturgy, i.e., liturgy considered as a source of theology; or 3) doxological theology, i.e., theology which has a doxological cast to it in the sense of thanksgiving and praise.
