Description
Summary:The article tries to make a case for a new way of construing liturgical theology, namely, with an emphasis on cross-cultural and global realities. Since by the end of this Century two-thirds of the world's Christians, more than two-thirds of the Roman Catholic church and four-fifths of the world's population will be living in the two-thirds world, the center of gravity of the church (including its liturgical life) has shifted from the North-Atlantic world. Liturgical theology has not taken enough (or only selective) notice of this shift in the way it writes the liturgical history of the church, in the way it thinks about inculturation, and in the way it construes its categories of liturgical theology, amongst other things. – After a short discussion of the debate about the globalization of theological education in North America, the author offers her own description of the theological foundation and tasks of an intercultural liturgical theology. She sees such an intercultural liturgical theology as the liturgical reflection of a world church which consciously celebrates its own multicultural catholicity in and through the (truly inculturated) liturgical life of ail local communities.
