Just as Huck has always resisted worship\u2019s conventions for their own sake, this volume teases out new and creative edges around topics like \u201cThe Sound of Our Prayer: Word and Song\u201d and \u201cKnowing What it Feels Like: The Body at Prayer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos. <\/strong>Conceived and collected by Stephen Burns and Bryan Cones while they were both at the University of Divinity, Melbourne, Australia, the reader gets to traipse around the globe with them and the other authors, gathering bits of inspiration for worship renewal along the way. There are gems here about liturgical media art, use of Negro spirituals, psalms and human poverty, just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Huck\u2019s Voice. <\/strong>John Rosser, a friend of Huck\u2019s from young adulthood introduces the reader to Huck in an introductory tribute. He notes that, even now, Gabe and his wife, Theresa, are still active in the Iraqi-Syrian Student Project.<\/p>\n<p>The final words, though, are from Gabe himself. The final essay is titled \u201cAre We Responsible for This? What Liturgy Demands and What it Rehearses.\u201d Here Gabe reflects back on questions from early childhood and concludes that we need the liturgy \u201cto be the world rehearsing justice, mercy, love, and respect for creation\u201d (150).<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Burns and Bryan Cones, eds., <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ltp.org\/products\/details\/FCFA\/fully-conscious-fully-active\">Fully Conscious, Fully Active: Essays in Honor of Gabe Huck<\/a> <\/em>(Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications, 2020), 157 pages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>REVIEWER: Lorraine Brugh<br \/>\n<\/strong>Lorraine Brugh is Senior Research Professor at<br \/>\nValparaiso University, Valparaiso, Indiana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lorraine Brugh reviews <i>Fully Conscious, Fully Active<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":57876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3117,3297,13,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-scholarship-new-ws","category-brief-book-review","category-ecumenism","category-recently-published-books"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
