A groundbreaking collection of writings that place queer ritual at
the center of the theological conversation. In this collection of
essays, leading scholars in queer theology and liturgical studies
explore the ways in which the distinctive theological voices of
LGBTQIA+ Christians challenge and expand thinking and practice
around worship in new directions. This challenge has expanded in
the past decades, as obstacles to the full participation of queer
Christians—particularly in marriage and ordination—have fallen.
Organized into three main parts, the volume begins with an
introduction to queer engagement with ritual practices, continues
with a series of case studies that examine queer texts and
contexts, and concludes with an examination of the horizons of
queer liturgical theology and practice. Throughout the volume,
Queering Christian Worship provides new imagination and tools to
those who study and curate Christian worship across traditions.

This assemblage of feminist theologies represents a series of vital
entanglements. Chapters are written from different cultures,
geographies and discourses and brought together around themes as
specific and wide-ranging as immigration detention, hate crime,
discrimination, rites of marriage and partnership, and artistic and
religious imagination. The contributors variously echo, celebrate,
question and contradict each other. Despite the complexity and
allied as they are with liberation, decolonial, ecological, queer
and other theologies, these perspectives seek not only to confront
and resist the problems, oppressions, and omissions of hegemonic
theologies but also to realize better worlds.
Christian churches in recent decades have taken some steps in their
practices of liturgy and worship toward acknowledging the graced
dignity of human variety. But who is still excluded? What
pernicious norms still govern below the surface, and how might they
be revealed? How do texts, gestures, and space abet and enforce
such norms? How might Christian assemblies gather multiple
expressions of human difference to propose through Christian
liturgy patterns of graced interaction in the world around them?
Liturgy with a Difference gathers a broad range of international
theologians and scholars to interrogate current practices of
liturgy and worship in order to unmask ways in which dehumanizing
majoritarianisms and presumed norms of gender, culture, ethnicity,
and body, among others, remain at work in congregations. Together,
the chapters in this collection call for a liturgical practice that
recognizes and rehearses the vivid richness of God's image found in
the human community and glimpsed, if only for a moment, in
liturgical celebration. They point a way beyond mere inclusion
toward a generous embrace of the many differences that make up the
Christian community. With contributions from Rachel Mann, Teresa
Berger, Susannah Cornwall, Miguel A. DeLa Torre, Edward Foley, W.
Scott Haldeman, Michael Jagessar, Bruce T. Morrill, Kristine
Suna-Koro and Frank Senn. Foreword by Ann Loades.
"Among the symbols with which the liturgy deals, none is more
important than this assembly of believers." This claim made in the
1970s forces the local church to consider those within its
congregation, and recognise the gifts and challenges of difference
within the church community. In 'This Assembly of Believers' Bryan
Cones seeks to take seriously the pastoral context of a
congregation, recognising the physical ability, gender and
sexuality of those who make up the congregation. Starting each
chapter with their lived experience, Cones poses important
questions of the liturgy in light of these experiences before
realigning the liturgy to demonstrate the positive theological
significance of the marginalised within the congregation.
