Ritual Reboot

Rituals are central structures for common worship, and they’ve certainly been subject to scrutiny, critique—even conflict—and change over the centuries of the church. In the January 2019 issue of Bearings, our featured contributors, Claire Dixon and Max Grant, share perspectives on the balance between retaining, reframing, and full-on rebooting religious rituals. In a remarkable photo essay, Emilio Bañuelos offers striking visual insight on how religious ritual shapes and is shaped by with wider contexts of life in a Mexican community. And, we’ve brought back a 2017 article from Hazel Cherry that explores the need for African American women to create new, affirming rituals. Finally. Elizabeth Drescher offers commentary on the challenge for religious communities of contributing to a “New Year Again in America.”
