Farwell, Ph.D. Professor of Theology and Liturgy Virginia Theological Seminary Alexandria, VA 703-461-1727 [email protected] This new seminar will put existing forms of liturgical theology into dialogue with the “new comparative theology,” new theories of religion and religious plurality, and studies of multiple religious belonging and inter-rituality, in order to explore the questions: Is a comparative or inter-religious liturgical theology possible? If so, what forms would it take? And what might be gained by such a project?	NEW: Seminar on the Way: Liturgical Perspectives on the Lutheran/Roman Catholic Dialog Gordon Lathrop and Thomas Schattauer, Organizers First Meeting: January 2018 [email protected] [email protected] This new seminar will focus on the specific issues about Eucharist, church, and ministry identified in the ELCA/USCCB document "Declaration on the Way," issues that concern the potential achievement of Lutheran/Roman Catholic full communion. The seminar is open to all members of the Academy, and its work will proceed from the conviction that these issues, especially as they affect liturgical practice, rightly concern all Christians.
