Cf: Luke 24:35 </div> <bR> <bR> <div> This course is inspired by the vision of the Second Vatican Council for the renewal of the Church's liturgy. It aims to develop a sense of judgement informed by a knowledge of the theology and history of the liturgy. The course is recommended for members of parish liturgy teams, choir members, artists, teachers, readers. It would be of benefit to anyone desiring to grow in that active and conscious participation in the liturgy that the Second Vatican Council declared to be the right and duty of every Christian.</div> <div> The liturgy is an action of God's people who bring a variety of ministries and talents to its celebration. Whatever is done or used in liturgy should be appropriate, dignified, beautiful. Those wishing to contribute the gift of their creativity to the Church assembled for prayer must be imbued with the spirit of the liturgy and trained to exercise their gift to a high standard. </div> <div> Over the two years a comprehensive introduction to the study of Liturgy is provided. The following is a broad outline of the total course content. Topics may be added or omitted, depending on the availability of visiting lecturers.</div> <div> Students who take both courses have the option of having their learning assessed for an academic award by essays, projects and an annual examination. The Institute is currently engaged in negotiations for the recognition of this award within the Irish higher education system. Participants may study for personal enrichment without assessment.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="09a68e60.jpg" border=0 width="360" height="230" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Liturgy Room, St Patrick's College, Carlow Designed by Richard Hurley</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>First Year : Pastoral Liturgy</B></div> <div> Selected New Testament Texts </div> <div> The Psalms </div> <div> Understanding Jesus Today </div> <div> The Church </div> <div> Jewish Prayer at the Time of Jesus </div> <div> Prayer in the New Testament </div> <div> Prayer in the Early Church </div> <div> Liturgical spirituality </div> <div> The Liturgy of the Hours </div> <div> The Irish Liturgical tradition </div> <div> Ritual Studies </div> <div> Symbol </div> <div> Christian Initiation </div> <div> The Eucharist: history and theology </div> <div> The Eastern Rites </div> <div> Anglican Liturgy </div> <div> Ministry </div> <div> Lay-led Assemblies </div> <div> Marriage Rites </div> <div> The Lectionary </div> <div> Worship as Body Language </div> <div> Liturgy and people with disability </div> <div> Liturgy and parish renewal </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <IMG SRC="09bb5ac0.jpg" border=0 width="181" height="172" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Window in "The Upper Room" at the Newman Institute of Education</div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="565" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="179"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="179" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=BOTTOM WIDTH="379"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="379" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <B>Second Year: Liturgy and the Arts </B></div> <div> Selected New Testament Texts </div> <div> Understanding the Death and Resurrection of Jesus </div> <div> Christian anthropology </div> <div> Spirituality of music </div> <div> God and Art </div> <div> Images of Mary Today </div> <div> Christian ritual song </div> <div> Liturgy and the artist </div> <div> Icons </div> <div> Liturgical art and architecture </div> <div> The place of worship </div> <div> Conservation of architectural Heritage </div> <div> The body as instrument of prayer </div> <div> Gesture and movement in liturgy </div> <div> The language of worship </div> <div> Liturgy and concern for justice and peace </div> <div> Calligraphy and liturgical book design </div> <div> Textiles in the liturgy </div> <div> Floral Art for liturgy </div> <div> The art and craft of reading the Scriptures </div> <div> The eucharist and ecology </div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="565" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=CENTER HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="318"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="318" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=BOTTOM><NOBR><div> Early Christian Baptismal Font</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
