Educaţia religioasă a adulţilor şi participarea activă la liturghie. Analiză comparativă în funcţie de gen
The Religious Education of Adults and the Active Participation in the Liturgy. A Comparative Gender Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The central part of all Liturgies is the transfiguration of the bread and wine in the Body and the Flesh of the Lord and, from a liturgical point of view, this is considered the priest and the worshippers’ joint work. Thus, the liturgical conversation between the priest and the worshippers is both a time during which the entire Church takes part in the Eucharist and an authentic lesson on Christian communion and perfection. This study presents the survey data gathered after the analysis of the answers to a questionnaire applied to 200 participants, all members of church choirs from nine Romanian towns. The differences between the two genders are mostly connected to the effectiveness of the religious experience and the women recorded the highest percentage in the following categories: religious motivation in belonging to the various congregations; frequency of attending the religious services, other the Liturgies during which they sing; and knowledge of the various moments of the Holy Liturgy.
