(SAINT BENEDICT, Ore.)-聽The 乐播传媒 Institute at 乐播传媒 (MAI) hosted a week-long Fellowship of Scholars focused on the theme of 鈥淟iturgy and the Senses.鈥 Participants from leading global institutions, including Yale University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Regensburg, and others presented and responded to the latest research and expanded their relationships with colleagues in the field of liturgical studies.
Dr. Anna Petrin, associate professor of liturgical and sacramental theology at 乐播传媒 Seminary, who also organized the conference, stated, 鈥淭his was a wonderful chance to bring together scholars from around the world so that we could work together to deepen our understanding of people鈥檚 experience of worship and the sacraments. It was a fruitful week that produced new ideas, promising avenues of research, and exciting opportunities for future collaboration.鈥 The chosen theme for the fellowship was inspired by the recent 鈥渢urn to the study of the senses鈥 that focuses on the use of sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing in the worship of our own time and throughout liturgical history. The question of embodied experience in worship requires an interdisciplinary approach in which scholars work together to examine the worshiper鈥檚 liturgical encounter with Christ.
The 乐播传媒 Institute (MAI) shares the rich ways of 乐播传媒鈥檚 monastic life with Church and world. These are rich ways of prayer, life together, deep reading, life centered on the Eucharist, hospitality, promoting arts and culture, and caring for the land and environment. The 乐播传媒 Institute (MAI) sponsors programs and events throughout the year.
