“Understanding the Bible from the Liturgy”
Summer School in Trier, Germany
May 16 - July 1, 2022
Professors: Dr. Marco Benini (liturgy, Trier; taught 6 semesters at CUA), with some classes by Dr. Stefanos Alexopoulos (liturgy, CUA), Dr. Hans-Georg Gradl (NT, Trier), and Dr. Carolin Neuber (OT, Trier)
"Sacred Scripture is of the greatest importance in the celebration of the liturgy." (SC 24). The Bible shapes the liturgy like no other book: OT and NT readings are intertextually combined. Psalms are often specifically chosen. Prayers and hymns are biblically permeated. Liturgical actions and symbols (e.g., the washing of feet on Holy Thursday, baptismal rites, etc.) are inspired by sacred Scripture. At the same time, the liturgy interprets sacred Scripture and makes the Bible, a written echo of the revelation, to the living Word of God, whom we encounter in the liturgy. The reception of Scripture (e.g., according to the literary reception theory) is part of the active participation in the liturgy.

67e SEMAINE D’ÉTUDES LITURGIQUES,
Paris, Institut de théologie orthodoxe Saint-Serge, 30 juin – 3 juillet 2020
La 67e Semaine liturgique Saint-Serge, initialement prévue du 30 juin au 3 juillet 2020, est reportée en juillet 2021
Compte tenu de la situation sanitaire qui s'impose actuellement, la 67e Semaine liturgique est REPORTÉE d’un an, et fixée désormais aux 6-9 juillet 2021.
Cependant, pour ne pas produire une impression d’absence de communication entre liturgistes dans cet intervalle, ni laisser vacant le créneau du 30 juin, un projet de rencontre virtuelle est à l’étude, prévoyant des échanges sur les questions théologiques, liturgiques et pastorales liées aux conditions de confinement.
Diverses raisons ont amené les organisateurs à éviter tout risque de rassemblement à un moment prématuré. Le programme déjà mis au point reste inchangé et nous espérons vivement pouvoir compter sur les mêmes intervenants et collaborateurs (visite, présidence, traducteurs). Mais pour ne pas produire une impression d’absence de communication entre liturgistes dans cet intervalle, ni laisser vacant le créneau du 30 juin, un projet de rencontre virtuelle est à l’étude, prévoyant des échanges sur les questions théologiques, liturgiques et pastorales liées aux conditions de confinement.
Il reste à déterminer ce qui est techniquement réalisable et vous serez informés des modalités plus précises de cette rencontre : thèmes possibles, accès et mode de participation.
