Summer courses 2006,
Session II July 3 to July 21:
Liturgy and Cultural Adaptation,
Dr. Lynne Boughton,
Session II, 2 credits, M-Th, 9:00-10:30
The Church’s liturgy has always existed in dynamic relationship
with the complex currents of culture and history. The interplay between
liturgy and culture is of considerable importance in Catholicism today.
This course examines the Church’s liturgy in the light of social
history, the humanities, and cultural theory. Attention is given to the
influences of modernity and post-modernity on liturgical developments.
The postconciliar agenda of inculturation in its various expressions is
examined and evaluated.
Liturgical Year and Liturgy of the Hours,
Deacon Owen Cummings, Session II, 3
credits,
M-Th, 10:45-12:30
The Church’s theology of time is expressed and examined in this
course, as context for celebrating the great mysteries of faith. The
origins and developments of the major seasons and feasts of the Church
year are explored. Emphasis is placed on the theology of Sunday. The
development of the Liturgy of the Hours (both cathedral and monastic) is
examined, as is the current shape of the Church’s rites for the Hours.
The spirituality of the psalms is explored. The roles of Mary and the
saints are also treated.
