HOLY LITURGY - CURRENT ISSUES AND UNWRITTEN LAWS RECEIVED OVER TIME. ATTEMPTS AT CORRECTION (2)

Summary/Abstract: The need for uniformity, for an order from a typical point of view, in the celebration of the Divine Liturgy, was also been the basis of this study. As it was said, this Sacrament represents the eternal soul of Orthodoxy in prayer 1. Its importance in the life and salvation of believers is therefore decisive. The Orthodox Divine Liturgy requires believers to participate in order to be fully part of what it means. Such dynamic participation involves rhythm, singing, movement, ritual, food and drink. (By contrast, modern theological thinking has tried to abandon such a dynamic liturgical participation and has sought more the forms of abstract thinking and sometimes even aloof from the nature and spirit of theology). The achievement of this fact can be influenced by a refocusing on the “personal dimension of Orthodoxy”. Conversion and faith are always personal, as the person is the one who receives God’s love and saving grace.
