Much of the current theology of Baptism focuses on the image of Baptism as dying and rising, as found in Romans, chapter 6. But, other images such as rebirth and adoption also resound in scripture and tradition. As the author proposes, recovering these traditions may suggest other appropriate feasts for the celebration of Baptism and will deepen the appreciation and understanding of the sacrament itself.The Forum Essays series is a collaborative effort between LTP and The North American Forum on the Catechumenate. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for scholars to explore issues emerging

Every table all week long, every meal, is an echo of the Sunday past, an anticipation of the Sunday to come. Make the connection between the Lord’s supper and your family dinner with this book. Of cookbooks there are a multitude. Though this book has three recipes, it is no cookbook. It is an invitation-to-cook book - and more. Elizabeth Hoffman Reed has written a simple praise of dining, a call to go to the market and to the stove and to the table. But this invitation is also a challenge: Do you love your food as you could? Her brief reflections are interspersed with wonderful and varie

A growing number of Catholic communities are unable to keep holy the Lords day in our tradition with Sunday Mass. They cannot celebrate the Eucharist because their pastoral leader is not a priest. More and more, these communities are gathering for Sunday worship in the absence of a priest. Does this make a difference? Will this alter the Church’s sense of identity and mission? How will Catholic spirituality be affected if it lacks the foundation of Sunday Eucharist? This book takes a deep look at the concerns raised by Sunday worship in the absence of a priest. It asks that we look caref

Liturgy and catechesis should happen together. We’ve brought together liturgists, catechists, pastoral ministers, and academic experts to address how a parish might pastorally care for families who are bringing their children to the Church for Baptism. These essays discuss pre-education, training for catechists, timing of the rites, and the homily. But it doesn’t stop there: mystagogy and follow-up are addressed, too.
