With the recent revival of interest in the concept of liturgy, it’s important to examine what liturgy is and what value it holds. Dr. Kathleen Mulhern, teaching fellow, interim director of the Christian Formation program, and Church historian, explores the meaning and history of liturgy and worship, and their overarching goal of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever. She also emphasizes the formative role of liturgical traditions as guiding handrails in faith expression, shares some ideas for integrating liturgical practices into contemporary Church settings, and reflects on the resurgence of interest in liturgy as a response to a desire for community.
