"Everett offers a new way to examine the language and symbols of liturgy. Acknowledging the important contributions that anthropology, sociology, and psychology have made to liturgical reform, he points out that we still lack the models to adequately address the underlying monarchical imagery. What is needed, he believes, is an understanding of political theory - an understanding consistent with a Christian ethic of inclusiveness and mutuality."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
