Fifty Years of the Liturgical Movement
A series of three talks
1: Changing the face of the Church by Fr. Charles Davis , S.T.L. Professor of Theology
St. Edmund's College, Ware
The modern Liturgical Movement originated in the Roman Catholic Church at the Malines Conference of 1909. Since then its influence has steadily grown and has spread to many other Churches. It has inspired radically new forms of religious art and church architecture. Yet these are merely the symptoms of symbols of what is fundamentally a doctrinal reformation, based on fresh insights into the central Christian beliefs and what they imply for worship and life. Between them the three contributors to this group of talks will comment on all these aspects of what is, in fact, a complex process of change, experiment, and discovery.
