| Summary: | While fences, walls, and ever more dehumanizing restrictions on migrants and asylum seekers go up in various continents, Christians are increasingly realizing that their religious commitments demand an ethical as well as theological recognition of migration tragedies playing out across many regions in the world. Taking the existential actualities of the “age of migration” seriously as a source of theological inquiry also calls for a new mode of constructive liturgical theology. The commitment to such a transformation of theological imagination calls for a shift in how the very notion of “liturgy” is envisioned. In conversation with theologians, liturgical scholars, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Emmanuel Levinas, this article explores how the presence and unjust suffering of migrant neighbors can reshape liturgical imagination to constructively bridge the glaring gap between liturgy and life, worship and ethics, doxology and righteous action. |
