This book contains the papers that were delivered during the 16th
liturgical colloquium of the Liturgical Institute of Leuven in October
2003. The colloquium dealt with the notion of 'active participation' on
the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Tra le sollecitudini and
the 40th anniversary of Sacrosanctum Concilium. Paul De Clerck
(Paris) presents a historical retrospect. Paul Post (Tilburg) gives a
panorama of current ritual-liturgical inculturation. Thomas Pott (Rome)
reflects on the spiritual dimension of liturgical participation. Liliane
Voye (Louvain) deals with participation from a sociological point of view.
Andre Haquin (Louvain) and Andre Goossens (Antwerp) discuss the challenges
of a liturgical assembly.
