Photo credit: Catholic News Service, Tyler Orsburn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been quite a week for those interested in the relationship between liturgy and the public life in Washington DC. The Department of State hosted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irfroundtable.org\/copy-of-global-network\">2nd annual Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom<\/a> that saw over 1000 international participants, not counting side events organized by NGOs and religious organizations. Alongside formal talks and round table discussions were occasions for expressions of solidarity for the persecuted through prayer in public spaces, many of which were particularly liturgical: on Monday, Archbishop Tanielian of Armenia delivered the opening prayer for the House; on Tuesday, Roman Catholic and Orthodox religious leaders sang hymns in the Rotunda of the Capitol for Christians in the Middle East; and on Thursday morning, as Bishop Nestor-D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Nongo-Aziagbia from the Central African Republic spoke at a multi-faith gathering on peacebuilding, Roman Catholics gathered in front of the Capitol to protest the inhumane treatment of asylum-seekers and immigration policies following an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americamagazine.org\/politics-society\/2019\/07\/18\/jesuit-house-chaplain-prays-expel-darker-spirits-us-capitol\">opening prayer by House Chaplain, Fr.&nbsp; Pat Conroy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, I interview Dr. Brian Flanagan about his experience as one of many who gathered on the front lawn of the Capitol with other Catholic religious leaders, lay and ordained, especially with regard to his reflections upon the use of ritual and liturgical expressions toward the pursuit of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>What made you go to the demonstration, and what did you expect at the event? Did it unfold the way you thought it would?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was invited by a number of friends on\nFacebook, which shows just how much the same social media that divides us and\ndemonizes others can be used in the service of the gospel of justice. I think so\nmany of us have been trying in different ways to respond to what is being done\nin our name on the southern border, and I was grateful for the chance to\nrespond in a public forum, as a citizen and as a Catholic \u2013 both for the sake\nof trying to change the minds and hearts of our leaders, and also to stand in\nsolidarity with other religious communities, especially the Jewish community,\nwho are equally outraged by the separation of children, by the incarceration of\nasylum seekers, and by the inhumane treatment of both, and who have been\nputting themselves out there in public in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was very well organized, and\nfollowed what I had expected \u2013 a prayer service that helped us call to mind the\ndangerous narrative of what is happening at our border, particularly to\nchildren, followed by our presence in the Russell Senate Office Building, at\nwhich some 70 demonstrators risked arrest for refusing to disperse in an act of\ncivil disobedience to more sharply focus our leaders upon the crisis at the\nborder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I was following the #CatholicDayOfAction on Twitter and found the event to be remarkably liturgical. For instance, demonstrators sang liturgical responses like the ICEL setting of the Kyrie (on pitch, in sync and in unison &#8211; hear, hear, fellow musicians at NPM!) in response to read testimonies from children who had been detained. Were there other liturgically inspired acts? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the whole event was a liturgy, a public\nwork, in a number of senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, every protest has its own ritual\nlogic. Particularly in the U.S. Congress, where protests happen regularly, the\nCapitol Police were, as usual, professional and efficient in their task of\nannouncing, warning, and arresting those who were exercising their option for\ncivil disobedience, and their warnings and the demonstrators\u2019 response formed a\nkind of call-and-response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in terms of the liturgical forms that the\ndemonstrators themselves used, the organizers allowed us to use the power of\ntwo major traditions: some of the now \u201ctraditional\u201d protest traditions of the\n1960s, as well as the deep traditions of the Catholic Church. In the first\ncategory, there were some of the \u201cclassics\u201d of the 1960s and 1970s \u2013 singing\n\u201cWe Shall Not Be Moved,\u201d some of us putting their current and future security\non the line by volunteering for arrest, holding our signs and placards, and responding,\nin an almost secularized litany, with the response \u201cstop the inhumanity!\u201d to\nour prayers for migrants and refugees, for our leaders, and for those whose\nhearts we hoped to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, at the same time, the second tradition\nthat the organizers helped us to tap into were some of the deepest traditions\nof our shared Catholic tradition. After speakers read the stories of\nincarcerated children in their own words, we sang the \u201cLord, have mercy\u201d of the\npenitential rite familiar to all of us from Mass. As some of our number were\narrested inside the rotunda, we prayed the rosary \u2013 that was the moment where I\ngot choked up, seeing friends and members of religious communities in their\nmatching t-shirts in some cases and their Franciscan and Dominican habits in\nothers, being handcuffed and led away while still praying a decade of the\nrosary. And as the numbers dwindled \u2013 and those of us in the gallery who grew\nsilent, since praying too loud would make us vulnerable to arrest as well \u2013 I\nheard some of the protestors spontaneously singing \u201cOne Bread, One Body\u201d that\nmade clear just how Eucharistic this moment was. Those choosing arrest were a\nsacrament of the Body of Christ for all of us in the\ncrowd\/audience\/congregation, emptying themselves of their privilege and their\nfreedom in solidarity with those whose humanity has been called into question\nby their treatment at the hands of our government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In what ways have your own liturgical formation or prayer life influenced your participation in the event?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know for a fact that the Catholics\ndemonstrating today included cradle Catholics and new Catholics, but as a\ncradle Catholic who was in Catholic schools from kindergarten through my PhD,\nit was the moments that most tapped into the deep veins of my Catholic\nformation that most moved me. Thanks to the Sisters of Mercy who taught me in\ngrade school, for me the rosary is still my go-to prayer \u2013 or more accurately,\nmy \u201coh @#$@\u201d prayer when things get real. So to join in the rosary as the\nimages of the migrant children who have died in the custody of our government\nhung on the bodies of demonstrators or fell to the floor \u2013 that made it\npainfully real for me. It reminded me of the image of the rosaries taken from\nmigrants at the border, some elaborate or expensive, or some the cheap plastic\nrosaries given away in the back of churches \u2013 or to the five- or six- year-old\nme by a sister who was a friend of my mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As one of the editors of the CTS 2017 publication of essays on Liturgy + Power, what are some theological reflections you\u2019ve had about such public expressions of your faith? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Power runs all through this experience. And what I think about this moment as a liturgical experience is the topsy-turvy world of power and weakness in the light of the Gospel. The power of the Reign of God is a power in which our God is on the side of the weak, and those of us like me (a white man in America) who have a great deal of power and privilege in the obvious sense can only tap into that power by emptying ourselves of that power in solidarity with God\u2019s beloved people. What I saw today was women and men, lay people and religious, a 90-year-old sister and, next to me, the young kids of one of the organizers, joining together in an act that was powerful precisely in its weakness. Those who were arrested were sacraments of the power of God, who showed power in weakness and strength in self-giving love, and who, lying on the floor in the shape of a cross, reminded us just what the costly discipleship of the crucified victim looks like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Thanks for sharing your experience and insights with us at PrayTell, Brian!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Brian P.
