Synodal Obedience
This article examines the role of obedience in Roman Catholic clerical culture in light of the ongoing sexual abuse crisis and the pervasive influence of clericalism. Analyzed through a virtue ethics framework, obedience is presented as a mean between two vicious extremes—excess and deficiency—embodied by both subordinates and superiors. Subordinates risk self-idolatry (rejecting legitimate authority) or cadaveric obedience (self-negating, unques…
On the Way to Full Communion
For several years beginning in January 2018, a seminar of the North American Academy of Liturgy met to consider how understanding of liturgy can further efforts at church unity between Lutherans an

Liturgy in the Shadow of Trauma

The article concludes by using the linguistic concepts of metapho…

Tactical Ecumenism
The article examines the relationship between ecumenical dialogues and embodied ecumenical practices. By utilizing Michel de Certeau’s theory of strategy and tactics, the authors construct a hermeneutic that aims at forming ecumenists and clarifying the object of their discourse. Specifically, unauthorized practices of collaboration between denominations (i.e., ecumenical tactics) are seen as a formative source for ecumenical dialogue (i.e., stra…
