Through stories and first-person anecdotes, Weil does "narrative theology" as only he can. Although most points of reference are to the 1979 BCP, the book is aiming at a more fundamental level--not just Episcopal or even Anglican liturgy, but liturgical rites as such: how do they "do what they do"?--or NOT do when they are done badly "Liturgical Sense" is...

Drawing on long-term research in Fiji, Ritual Textuality presents in-depth studies of each of these patterns, taken from a wide range of settings: a fiery, soul-saving Pentecostal crusade; relaxed gatherings at which people drink the narcotic beverage kava;...
