LITed - LITURGY EDUCATION NEWS


​Eucharist
​

Welcome, once again, to LITed our electric newsletter!

​There has been a bit of a gap since the last one because our education officer, James Robinson, has finished up with Liturgy Brisbane.  We will do our best to maintain LITed and send you some interesting reading from time to time.  Our front-of-house admin person has also changed.  Christy Gracias has moved to another position in the Archdiocese and we are pleased to welcome Donagh Thompson.  When you contact Liturgy Brisbane, you will find her quietly efficient and very friendly.
 
At the end of June, Liturgy Brisbane is very pleased to be hosting Tom O’Loughlin, priest and professor at the University of Nottingham.  You can read about him on the flyer below.  Our articles for this issue are three pieces from Tom which will give you the flavour of his approach to liturgy. 
These articles are good preparation if you can come to his talk;  a useful insight if you cannot.
 
Best wishes from Tom Elich and Clare Schwantes

The Centrality Of The Eucharist

Tom O'Loughlin explores what it really means to call the Eucharist the 'centre' of the Church's life and insists that this understanding must find practical expression in the liturgy.

Space Matters

In this article, Tom O'Loughlin explains why space is so important for establishing a framework of perception in liturgy and looks at the impact of different church designs over the centuries.

Can You Drink The Cup?

This third feature article from Tom O'Loughlin highlights the emphasis placed upon the action of drinking from the same cup, from the early Church until present times.
Read More








​
Professor O’Loughlin, born in Dublin, is a priest of the diocese of Arundel and Brighton on England’s south coast.  He is a specialist in the early Church and the early medieval period, but his work is not dry Church history.  Rather he draws on the experience of Christian living and believing in the past to understand what is important for Christians today to make sense of their faith.  Liturgy and sacraments is a key focus of his work.
 
Tom sees one of his key tasks as communication – taking the fruit of academic research and communicating its insights to a wider public.  His visit to Brisbane will bring us the best of liturgical scholarship and make it accessible to everyone.  So, for example, one of his recent publications is an easy-to-read 100-page book The Rites and Wrongs of Liturgy: Why Good Liturgy Matters.  But he is also well-known for more serious works such as The Eucharist: Origins and Contemporary Understandings and Making the Most of the Lectionary: A User’s Guide.

WHO CELEBRATES THE LITURGY?

​​Tom O’Loughlin’s work in Brisbane will focus on this simple question.  
It will help explore the meaning of the Vatican II liturgical principle of full, conscious, active participation in the liturgy by the whole assembled people of God. 
What is the role of the priest in the liturgy? 
How should we celebrate Sunday Mass? 
​His presentations will help us rethink ministry and Christian life for the present age.
