Sunday by Sunday you faithfully attend the liturgy of your local church.<\/p>\n

Lately, though, many of your friends have started attending worship at the made-over movie theater out on the edge of town that’s now known as a “praise-and-worship center”. Your friends seem to be, well, happier; maybe more committed. Jesus is taking a prominent place in their lives (or, at least, in all<\/em> their conversations with you), which is a good thing. And you, for your part, can’t help but wonder just what they’re experiencing out there — but for your own Sunday church obligations, you would find out for yourself.<\/p>\n

Well, here’s<\/a> an inside peak, complete with on-screen ordo<\/em> for your convenience.<\/p>\n

Of course this is a spoof — well produced, but still a spoof. But it raises some important questions: what are the underlying deep structures (ordo\/ordines<\/em>) of liturgical worship? How do such structures communicate in a way that is logically prior to particular forms, rites or uses? How do we best attend to those structures — what does it mean, in other words, that most liturgical churches have the same ordo at the core of their Eucharistic worship?<\/p>\n
