Meaning? In the Catholic Church the Mass is broadly divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The word liturgy means public worship or ritual. The last church I attended had no worship elements and was pretty lean on ritual too, although there was an order of the meeting. I just found the phrase in bold above jumped out at me and wondered if you could delineate what you mean be liturgical and non-liturgical church and give some examples of each.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
