Data were collected from a group of six ritual counsellors with a questionnaire and a group interview. The data were interpreted through the lens of three hermeneutical models. I come to the conclusion that respondents are aware of worldview aspects of their work, while they differ in the role they take. Some are more guides, others more witnesses. The role of priestess which some of the counsellors adopt deviates from the available professional theory. More reflection is needed to develop such a theory about worldview communication outside the church.","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"2016 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139001747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Waarom is de Liturgische Beweging nooit een zelfstandige “modaliteit” geworden in het Nederlandse protestantisme? Historische en systematisch-theologische beschouwingen","authors":"M. Ploeger","doi":"10.21827/yrls.39.66-80","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21827/yrls.39.66-80","url":null,"abstract":"Like many other churches, Protestantism in the Netherlands had its own Liturgical Movement during the twentieth century. Unlike some churches, for example the Anglican Communion, the liturgical identity of parts of Dutch Protestantism never led to the formation of a “modaliteit” – a distinctive, organized party within the church. This article first argues that the Protestant Liturgical Movement initially possessed enough distinctive neo-patristic theological and spiritual potential to form such a party. Subsequently, the article explores why the formation of such a “modaliteit” did not take place. The reason is found in an implosion and restart of the Liturgical Movement in Dutch Protestantism, which took place during the 1950s and which changed the theological and spiritual profile of the Movement. By losing its neo-patristic theology, the Movement lost both the opportunity and the necessity of forming a distinctive party within the church.","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"6 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138975067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Klomp, Peter-Ben Smit","doi":"10.21827/yrls.39.1-19","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21827/yrls.39.1-19","url":null,"abstract":"In this article, the authors explore the yield of a sacramental lens on extra-ecclesial ritualizations around food in contemporary Dutch ‘secularized’ culture. In an effort to explore the scope of sacramental theology beyond the liturgical ritual of the Eucharist/Holy Communion, they conclude that sacramental theology as a heuristic lens has a promising potential to reveal what is at stake when it comes to ordinary practices of food. Taking Louis-Marie Chauvet’s ground-breaking study Symbol and Sacrament as a point of departure for a sacramental frame, and using three examples from a recent Dutch TV series on counting blessings at dinner time, they seek to answer the question “What is the heuristic potential of a sacramental perspective on food-related ritualizations in everyday life?” The authors conclude that everyday ritualizations, in turn, constructively challenge ‘classic’ sacramental and liturgical theology. Thus, a sacramental lens on extra-ecclesial food-related ritualizations can enhance the understanding of the Eucharist/Holy Communion, as well as reveal what is at stake when it comes to ordinary (ritualized) practices of food.","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"12 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139001359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Ritual Worlding. Exploring the Self-and-world-making Efficacy of Rituals","authors":"Brenda Mathijssen","doi":"10.21827/yrls.39.20-44","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21827/yrls.39.20-44","url":null,"abstract":"Despite extensive research on the functions and meanings of ritual, the question of ritual efficacy remains a topic of debate. This paper explores how the concept of worlding can contribute to the study of ritual efficacy. Based on theoretical literature and qualitative research into cremation and perinatal loss, it proposes that rituals can be understood as worlding practices characterized by an entanglement of virtuality and actuality. In rituals, individuals frame a subjunctive time-space, playfully speculating with multiple experiential realities (what could be) while being anchored in the present (what is). The paper demonstrates that this intricate entanglement is key to the self-and-world-making quality of rituals and is crucial to understanding their efficacy. Furthermore, it shows that the value of the concept of worlding lies in its emphasis on embodied experiences, the active nature of our being in the world, and the recognition of power dynamics. Ritual worlding enables individuals to navigate the ambiguities that accompany life and death.","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"274 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139002149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How do we evaluate this theologically? This article provides a basic building block for a liturgical theology of the digital, the computer, calculations, and algorithms.

Counter to many conversations in liturgy which advocate for full inculturation as the goal, I suggest that acculturation, rather than inculturation, may be, for certain cultures and liturgies, the preferred ritual pattern, a ritual technique to continue two identities in the midst of diversity, especially in Christian communities who live in the ongoing reality of the move from colonialism to postcolonialism. To argue this assumption first requires a conversation between incarnationally-based inculturation and the newer conversation partners of hybridity and syncretism, placing that conversation in the context of colonial and postcolonial realities before turning to an example of acculturated funeral rituals amongst the Swampy Cree of Manitoba, Canada.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130588536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"To Proclaim, to Instruct and to Discipline: the Visuality of Texts in Calvinist Churches in the Dutch Republic","authors":"Jacolien Wubs","doi":"10.33612/diss.181588630","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33612/diss.181588630","url":null,"abstract":"Texts inscribed on decoratively framed panels or painted within ornate cartouches on church walls became a common feature of Dutch church interiors after the Reformation. After the defacement and removal of much of the liturgical furnishings and art of the late medieval Catholic church interiors, initially during the ‘Beeldenstorm’ of 1566 and more systematically following the takeover of churches by the Calvinists in the last quarter of the sixteenth century, text decoration became a common means in the redecoration and refurbishment of church interiors. While a significant number of text panels and text paintings have been preserved in Dutch churches, their scholarly treatment was thus far fragmentary. This study set out to systematically inventory and analyze extant text panels and text paintings in Dutch Reformed churches dating from ca. 1575-1800. It examines the nature and function of text decoration in the context of the adaptation of formerly Catholic churches for Reformed use in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Firstly, this thesis describes the nature of text panels and text paintings as conveyers of a textual message, and as ornate objects or images of texts; two features that may seem contradictory in the context of the Dutch Reformed church interior from which images were banned to make way for the preaching of the Word. By highlighting the ‘visuality’ of texts displayed in churches, this study amends the more traditional idea of the Dutch Reformed church interior as a space where hearing the Word completely replaced seeing the image. Secondly, this study explains the function of text decoration in the Reformed appropriation and adaptation of church interiors, which were until then outfitted for late medieval Catholic worship, to meet the requirements of Reformed worship and doctrine. Texts painted on walls and panels provided instructions for the Reformed liturgical use of church space, especially for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, and served as visual and textual markers of the Reformed identity of the church space. While the historiography of the Reformation is dominated by a narrative of major change, the consideration of forms of continuity is a common thread throughout this study; it highlights the mani-","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122221840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay analyzes how rituals of reconciliation effectively negotiate between competing factions and norms by using ritual techniques as embodied symbols. Against the horizon of theory from Victor and Edith Turner and Cas Wepener, participant observation of the Lutheran and Catholic Joint Commemoration of the Reformation “Common Prayer” in Lund, Sweden on October 31, 2016 reveals five stages: crisis/diagnosis, redress, forgiveness and acceptance, binding, and reparative mission. Each is marked by its own characteristic techniques, whereas some symbolic elements manifest the different stages throughout the liturgy. This liturgy demonstrates how one liturgy can speak to various factions and stages in the process of accommodating a new norm (Christian unity) within a contested set of identities (“Lutheran” and “Catholic”). It is in the stages of forgiveness and binding that the relationship between the ritual-symbolic realm and the real work of social reconciliation is most directly visualized.","PeriodicalId":129930,"journal":{"name":"Yearbook for Ritual and Liturgical Studies","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122249709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
