the gospels, how is the sense of communal participation formed? If the Bible is left on the altar as a
decoration and not read, what does that say about the reality of the Word of God? About the scriptures as
a substantive presence and a material witness to the Tradition in our experience?
One of the ways we create a sense of strong central symbols is to read from a large handsomely bound
Bible or lectionary book (see the publication above) that looks like it matters. Even if the scripture reading
is projected, might the reader and community need to sense that there is something of substance and
tradition (the Word being handed on--traditio) transpiring here.
How strong is the sense of the presence of the Word of God in your setting? How could proclaiming the
scriptures be strengthened? In terms of what people see? Hear?
