Abstract
This article, the 1996 presidential address given to the Canadian Theological Society, outlines the interdisciplinary nature of liturgical studies with focus on aspects of particular interest to theologians. The changing relationship of the terms in the frequently cited axiom lex orandi [est] lex credendi is explored. As a kind of theological case study new approaches to the présence of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the Christian liturgy are set out to show what theology of liturgy might offer christology and pneumatology. Finally, observations about some feminist rituals are offered from the perspective of a liturgical theologian.
