Liturgical Identities: Global, National, Ecclesial
Dates: Jun 25, 2007 - Jul 20, 2007

A Calvin Seminar in Christian Scholarship

Directed by:

Michael L. Budde of DePaul University
D. Stephen Long of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary

From the seminar website:

Liturgies form identities. They set forth what is important, focus our attention, shape our bodies through particular practices, and bear communal memory in ways that form who we are, whose we are, and what matters most in life.

Liturgical practices bear in themselves an intentionality about how to live. This is true not only for the church, but other associations such as the nation-state and economic entities. The nation-state, for example, has its own hymns, ritual practices, saints and martyrs, and sacred calendar. Corporations increasingly construct "liturgies" that create brand loyalty and allegiance, and shape the affections, dispositions, and desires of people.

This seminar will draw upon traditional patterns of Christian worship in order to highlight similarities and difference, points of convergence and conflict, among formative communities — ecclesial and secular. It will provide participants the opportunity to explore how Christian ecclesiologies and forms of worship interact with other powerful practices that shape allegiances, identities, and loyalties in our world.
