Publisher's Synopsis
The connection between liturgy and justice has long been assumed: Faithful celebration of Eucharist would lead to just sharing of 'the fruit of the earth and the work of human hands'. Baptizing persons of every people and nation would yield societies in which each person treats another as a treasured image of God. Regular faithful engagement with scripture would shape followers of Jesus into living words within the Word. Yet centuries of Christian practice and decades of reflection on the connection between liturgy and justice continue to produce broken human relationships shaped by colonisation, disparities based on colour and culture, and nature broken by a climate crisis worked by human hands. To quote one contributors to this volume: Liturgy and justice? Why is this still a question?
