Liturgical celebrations and the work of justice are tightly woven
threads of the same cloth. The essays in Liturgy and Justice
explore this intrinsic relationship and its promise for the ongoing
renewal of church life. The authors write about the vision of the
modern liturgical and social reformers, building just communities,
reuniting worship and justice, globalization, rural life, church
leadership, women in the Church, justice and prayer in Latino and
African American communities, liturgy as a school of discipleship,
forming catechumens as disciples, the catechesis of
liturgy-justice, preparing just liturgies, and preaching justice.
Authentic discipleship demands that the already existing
relationship between our liturgy and our mission as ministers of
justice be lived. Those serving in all areas of church ministry
will find this book helpful in striving for justice in the
Christian life. Essays and contributors are "Liturgy and Justice:
