Riassunto

Inclusive language is an explosive issue. It is also an issue that every parish must face. This volume sets aside extreme stances and instead presents the rationale behind inclusive language and guidelines for responsible implementation. The book meets three practical goals: it serves as a handbook for diocesan and parish liturgy groups and other liturgical ministers, who must respond to people's concerns; through endnotes and a brief annotated bibliography, it provides a resource for further study; and it also educates Catholics about inclusive language issues and their complexity.

Inclusive language is an explosive issue. It is also an issue that every parish must face. This small volume sets aside extreme stances and instead presents the rationale behind inclusive language and rational guidelines for responsible implementation. A Liturgist's Guide to Inclusive Language meets three practical goals: It serves as a handbook for diocesan and parish liturgy groups and other liturgical ministers who must respond to people's concerns. Through endnotes and a brief annotated bibliography, it provides a resource for further study. It also educates Catholics about inclusive language issues and their complexity. An appendix contains the text of the American bishops' guidelines on inclusive language. The result of many years of consultation and research, these guidelines reflect the consensus view of the vast majority (81% approval vote) of American bishops on the use of inclusive language. The Liturgist's Guide is structured as follows: Part I: Analysis of the Context (Social, Theological, and Local); Part II: Principles of Inclusive Language; Part III: Practical Guidelines for Inclusive Language in Liturgy; Part IV: Ongoing Developments; and Part V: The Challenge of the Future.". . . a masterfully constructed roadmap over some difficult terrain." Pastoral Life"This is a very welcome guide for some difficult terrain. . . . The author does not flinch from some of the controversial aspects of this pastoral issue but, at the same time, remains respectful of the Church's teaching and sensitive to the varied perspectives and experiences within the Catholic community." Donald Senior, C.P. Catholic Theological Union
