1. Catholic Worship – Protestant Worship: What We Can Learn
1. Bishop Richard Hanifen
     Where does Catholic liturgy stand in the midst of a secular society? How are Catholic and other Christian worship practices different; how are they similar?

These questions will be addressed in this workshop.

Through sign and symbol, word and song, posture and gesture our lives and the life of the world around us is changed.  [Top]
