dc.description.abstract |
Illness is a reality that affects all people, and healing is the main reason why people attend
worship services in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the Ritual Studies scholar Ronald Grimes,
illness is a social reality; it is socially imagined and constructed. Healing in the church is
something that many believers experience, also in the context of worship and liturgy. In order
to explore such healing as it occurs in liturgy a research project was undertaken making use of
both empirical work and a literature study. The aim of this research was to take the light off of
direct pastoral care and investigate how the liturgy affects individuals within the congregation
with regard to healing. A praxis-theory cycle was followed in the research, and a preliminary
liturgical theory for praxis was developed based on the insight from the empirical study and
ritual theory that healing through worship entails either transformation or reconciliation. |
