Richard Glazier - Ritual: Relic or Release?

Ritual: a repeated, structured sequence of actions or behaviours that alters the internal or external state of an individual, group, or environment.

Does ritual have any place in the life of the church? - and if so, what role? What rituals? And why?

Michael Norton, in his book “The Ritual Effect”, explores the concepts of rituals as carriers of re-enchantment in a world that is bereft of wonder. Come and explore if, and how, ritual can both enhance and hinder our life and mission in Christ.
