Title
A Tale of Two Calendars: Calendars, Compassion, Liturgical Formation, and the Presence of the Holy Spirit
Dan Brendsel
Abstract (from the Editorial of BET vol. 3.1)
Daniel Brendsel (Second Fellowship) applies Smith’s liturgical insights to the question of the liturgical year. He contrasts the church’s traditional liturgical calendar with an insightful analysis of the modern American calendar, and considers how discerning use of the church’s calendar might counter the ways the American calendar tends to “mal-form” us.
