Abstract

The modern process of liturgical renewal and revision in the churches has proceeded hand-in-hand with the twentieth-century Ecumenical Movement, not least because both of them have been engaged to some extent in harnessing the past to their future. Within the dialogues that have taken place between the various churches, common ground has often been sought by trying to get behind the controversies of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that in most cases had been the cause of their separation from one another, and building consensus upon biblical and patristic foundations on which they can agree. One may cite as an example the popularity of the New Testament term anamnesis in attempts to reach a shared understanding of Eucharistic sacrifice.1 Similarly, what was happening within the twentieth-century Liturgical Movement was also a return to patristic roots, an attempt to get behind what were seen as the accretions of later centuries, whether of the Middle Ages, the Reformation era, or the post-Tridentine period, to what was viewed as the purer air of the early centuries of Christianity, in order to recover insights that might be applied to their present-day worship patterns. The particular era on which attention was focused tended to be that of the late fourth century, a time when sources of information for liturgical practice were rather more plentiful than in the preceding centuries, and when the forms of worship in the newly built basilicas and ecclesiastical buildings of the post-Constantinian age more closely resembled those of modern congregations than did the ritual customs of the house-churches that had preceded them. It also appeared to scholars then to be the “golden age” of liturgical evolution, its crowning moment before it began to sink down towards
礼仪改革与基督教会的合一
教会礼仪更新和修订的现代过程与二十世纪的大公运动携手并进,尤其是因为它们都在某种程度上致力于利用过去来实现未来。在不同教会之间的对话中,人们常常试图从16和17世纪的争论中寻找共同点,这些争论在大多数情况下是导致他们彼此分离的原因,并在圣经和教父的基础上建立共识,使他们能够达成一致。人们可以举一个例子,在试图达成对圣餐献祭的共同理解时,新约术语“遗忘”的流行同样,二十世纪的礼仪运动也是一种对教父根基的回归,试图在中世纪,宗教改革时期,或后三叉戟时期,这些被认为是后来几个世纪的产物的背后,回到基督教早期更纯净的空气中,以恢复对当今崇拜模式的见解。人们特别关注的是四世纪晚期,这是一个礼拜仪式的信息来源比前几个世纪更为丰富的时代,后君士坦丁时代新建的长方形教堂和教会建筑的礼拜形式比之前的家庭教会的仪式习俗更接近于现代会众。在当时的学者看来,这也是礼仪演变的“黄金时代”,在它开始衰落之前,它达到了顶峰
