Description / Abstract
Our proclamation as the Church of Jesus Christ is that the world was created in an original harmony. This harmony was centered in the fact that the creation, particularly the image God that is humanity, lived in harmony with its Triune Creator. We, however, live in a world of fragmentation in which this original harmony has been grossly disturbed, much like an out of tune - chaotic orchestra with the wrong director. In such a world of disharmony and fragmentation Eucharistically-formed Christians are to be people of reconciliation. Wesleyan, Roman Catholic, and other catechists have seen the necessity of the transformation of the imagination in making reconciliation happen.1 Yet, theologians like William T. Cavanaugh and catechists such as Catherine Dooley have argued that this reconciliation is not happening. Part of the reason this is not occuring remains that catechists have not seen the extent to which the transformation of the imagination needs to take place. This “extent” of transformation by the practice of Eucharist is articulated by the Roman Catholic Theologian William T. Cavanaugh in his work Theopolitical Imagination.2 In this paper I will connect Cavanaugh’s vision of the radical transformation of the imagination through the Eucharist with larger catechetical/mystagogical practice. This paper is written from a Wesleyan/Anglo-Catholic perspective, so the connection of Cavanaugh's Eucharistic vision with catechetical/mystagogical practice will be construed liturgically through the Eucharistic right of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. This connection is important precisely for understanding the extent to which catechetical practice can transform Christians.
