Mission Statement

The Eucharistic Prayer and Theology Seminar, a scholarly application of the lex orandi lex credendi axiom, devotes its sessions to the study of both the classical Eucharistic Prayers and to the new Eucharist Prayers of modern or relatively modern national, ethnic, or church groups. The studies, based on papers written by members of the group, or on Eucharistic Prayers written or selected by them, have alternatively a literary and a theological focus, depending on the nature of the particular work being discussed.
