Lex Orandi, Lex Vivendi et Via Media: Christian Worship for the 21st Century
7:45 pm Denniston Refectory, 2450 LeConte.
Dr. Lim Swee Hong, Associate Professor of Sacred Music at Emmanuel College of Victoria University of the University of Toronto, Canada. Respondent: Dr. Jamie Apgar.
How might churches revitalize liturgical practice in the light of socio-cultural changes in the present era? While the tradition is a rich repository of the Christian faith, it is not realistic to keep the existing liturgical practices without addressing its imperialistic ethos. Fundamentally speaking, liturgical contextualization or inculturation is not about recovering local cultural elements to showcase Christianity as a politically correct movement on the world’s stage. Rather, the adaptive processes seek to facilitate the germinating or rooting of local Christianity – that is, a faith expression that has its genus in contextual reality that values both its Christian heritage and its local reality.
