The Rites for the Dedication of a Church and an Altar

Thomas G. Simons

 

In this pastoral resource, Fr. Thomas G. Simons explores the riches found in the Order of the Dedication of a Church and an Altar. Using texts from the ritual, he provides the reader a pastoral theology of what it means to be Church and how the building itself shapes our identity in Christ. The rituals are metaphors that teach us and shape us into who we are called to be: the Church of breath and bone that gathers in a church of brick and board.
