Die weeklikse viering van die Eucharistie en die volheid van die lewe

Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2016.It is official policy of the Dutch Reformed Church that the ideal of the weekly celebration of the Eucharist as an integral part of the worship service should be pursued by congregations. The practice of the weekly celebration of the Eucharist is however not nearly the norm in the Dutch Reformed Church. This research is situated within the context of a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church who is passionate about this specific practice and takes up the motivation for the practice of the celebration of the Eucharist as an integral part of the worship service in the practice s connection with the fullness of life. The ontology, epistemology and ethics that such a juxtaposition presupposes and also engenders is cursorily discovered and delineated, and the concept of the fullness of life is also investigated in the register of an engaged autoethnographical Practical Theology.tm2016Practical TheologyPhDUnrestricte
