Indeed, I am familiar with Aidan Kavanaugh - and got that distinction originally from him through liturgists on the Council of Associated Parishes for Liturgy and Mission.<BR/><BR/>I suspect you are right about Aidan's intention, and if that is true I believe I fall in that camp. I love theology and it does more than describe but it is always, always secondary. Granted, those who have seen the moon can point so others may see her too.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090720645937634051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-85080303944938084872007-09-03T10:59:00.000-06:002007-09-03T10:59:00.000-06:00interesting stuff!Yes indeed, we forget the Holy S...interesting stuff!<BR/><BR/>Yes indeed, we forget the Holy Spirit at our peril. Too often we function with a Binity instead of a Trinity....<BR/><BR/>Are you familiar with liturgical scholar Aidan Kavanagh and his distinction between liturgy as primary theology, and theological writing/speaking as secondary theology? His rationale runs much like your secondary/tertiary distinction. Liturgical scholars tend to like this, while theologians have objected that it sounds like reducing theology's function to description. (Which, I think, is exactly what Kavanagh had in mind.)Heather W. Reichgotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04678926165429957396noreply@blogger.com
