The creation of grounded, confident, open, inclusive, and empowered communities within a fractured, individualized, and globalized world is one of our greatest challenges. I firmly believe that our religious communities can be ways to achieve a common life. Moreover, I also believe that one of our most basic human practices is ritual, and that ritual (or liturgy, or church, or whatever you wish to call it) is a profound and constructive force in human life. As I explore these issues, this blog will cover the following areas:
1. Practical Ritual: Posts focusing on worship/liturgy/ritual (with a focus on the practice of worship in a particular place and community and emphasis on the communities I know best)
2. Church Theory/Church Practice: Anglican/Episcopalian Church Structure and Practice
This blog will be more free-flowing and open to comment than my other blog, Credo ut Intelligam (http://mtseddon.blogspot.com/). This particular blog will have minimal to no editing prior to posting, and be open for comment. Please keep comments polite and constructive or I will exercise editorial prerogative.
