Liturgical Reform After Vatican Ii: The Impact On Eastern Orthodoxy

This study examines Orthodox liturgical reform after Vatican II through the lens of Catholic-Orthodox ecumenical dialogue. Examining the initial pillars of liturgical reform, the study presents the history of movements for liturgical reform through four models: the liturgical reforms of Alexander Schmemann; the alternative liturgical center in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR); the symposia on liturgical rebirth authorized by the Church of Greece; and the renewed liturgy of New Skete Monastery, and concludes with suggestions for liturgical reform that meet the challenges of postmodernity and ecumenical fidelity.
