This is a study of the social construction and the impression management of the public forms of worship of Catholicism and Anglicanism. The study is an innovative effort to link sociology to theology in a way that serves to focus on an issue of social praxis.

This is a study of the social construction and the impression management of the public forms of worship of Catholicism and Anglicanism. Interest centres on the dilemmas of the liturgical actors in handling a transaction riddled with ambiguities and potential misunderstandings. The study is an innovative effort to link sociology to theology in a way that serves to focus on an issue of social praxis.
