medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Euchology is the theology of prayer forms/wording, etc. Also the theology that a particular ritual suggests. It may be used more in liturgical circles than
medieval art/religion, but not sure.
Now you have me wondering if there isn't a collection of DoC homilies, etc. . . hmmm. . .
The key to success is to cotter to whoever is in power. . . which may explain my lack of success. . . hmmmm
