Introduction
Welcome to your course in Liturgy, which will be conducted as a dialogue between Lay Mission Project team members, Fr. Michael Sweeney, OP, and Sean Bryan.
What is liturgy? Whence did it arise and what place does it occupy within our lay vocation? What is its purpose? Why does it involve so many curious rituals, symbols, “smells and bells”?
