Liturgical Renewal
Liturgical Renewal refers to efforts within various religious traditions to revitalize and reform worship practices. This movement often seeks to make services more meaningful and accessible, encouraging active participation from congregants. It can involve changes in language, music, and the structure of worship, aiming to deepen the spiritual experience.
In the context of Christianity, particularly after the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, Liturgical Renewal emphasized the importance of the Mass in the vernacular language. This shift aimed to foster a greater connection between the worshippers and the liturgy, promoting a sense of community and engagement in the faith.
