摘要：What do people do when they worship together? What do their actions mean? How might one make sense of the liturgical phenomenon? This issue of Religions proposes phe?nomenology as a fruitful methodological approach for understanding liturgical practices more deeply: the ways in which they organize time and space, the role body and affect play in them, how they shape personal and communal identity. The present introduction to the Special Issue will first lay out this methodology and justify its usefulness, before demon?strating briefly how the various contributions employ it in order to illuminate aspects of liturgical phenomenality in a variety of ways.
