Moving Forward with an Inculturated Liturgy in Australia

A short press release out of Australia… but for scholars interested in learning more about the history of the Mass of the Land of the Holy Spirit, see Carmel Pilcher’s chapter “Ceremonial Genius: Australia’s First Peoples and Liturgical Inculturation” in Deep Inculturation: Global Voices on Christian Faith and Indigenous Genius, edited by Antonio Sison, 89-126 (Maryknoll: Orbis Books, 2024). The book is well worth a read!

The bishops have approved the Mass of the Land of the Holy Spirit for use in the Catholic Diocese of Broome and referred it on to the Vatican for recognition.

There was a short presentation involving two elders from WA during the plenary in Sydney today.
