Donated by Pat McBee The author boldly applies the term liturgy to Quakers and forces them to learn how meanings are conveyed through external structures of worship – even the central one of silence. The practices and understanding of 21st century liberal Quakers are explored, showing that contemporary Quakers maintain the same kind of liturgical form as their ancestors and yet understand it in a very different way. Dandelion does a good job of INCLUSION of all branches of Quakerism within the family of Friends. However, he tends to criticize what he terms "liberal-Liberal Friends" for not being Christocentric, or at least not Christocentric enough. His criticism that liberal-Liberal Friends are voiding Christianity from Quaker [Silent] worship is missing the point entirely: that the quality of unprogrammed worship is seeking to express in their worship their embrasure of the notion that the Spirit finds expression in myriad ways AS IT SHOULD, and ANYTHING which stifles that Spirit, including--perhaps even especially including--religion. Christianity, as expressed by so many--including those churches that do not stand up for what Jesus taught (who exactly is it, whom Jesus would agree deserves torture?)--make it difficult for thinking, feeling Quakers to claim that exclusionist mantle. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Liturgies of Quakerism explores the nature of liturgy within a form of worship based in silence. Tracing the original seventeenth century Quakers' understanding of the 'liturgy of silence', and what for them replaced the outward forms used in other parts of Christianity, this book explains how early Quaker understandings of 'time', 'history', and 'apocalyptic' led to an inward liturgical form. The practices and understanding of twenty-first century Liberal Quakers are explored, showing that these contemporary Quakers maintain the same kind of liturgical form as their ancestors and yet understand it in a very different way. Breaking new ground in the study of Quaker liturgy, this book contrasts the two periods and looks at some of the consequences for the study of liturgy in general, and Quakerism in particular. It also explores evangelical Quaker understandings of liturgy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
