Book Review: “Embodied Liturgy: Virtual Reality and Liturgical Theology in Conversation”

This article will give you a review of the book "Embodied Liturgy: Virtual Reality and Liturgical Theology in Conversation".

The book "Embodied Liturgy: Virtual Reality and Liturgical Theology in Conversation" is written by C. Andrew Doyle. It was published on May 18, 2021. In a well-researched and thorough analysis of both virtual reality and liturgy, author C. Andrew Doyle argues that the Eucharist is an embodied and lived experience rather than a formulaic recital of words and procedures. This necessitates a shared location and presence. While the church should embrace virtual ministry, we should be cautious about utilizing technology to celebrate the Eucharist, which is an outward and visible expression of our spiritual unity with God and one another. It draws us closer to friends and strangers for individuals to be transformed into unity in Christ.

The ritual's setting – people, things, words, and all kinds of nuance – creates a connection with God and one another. Scholars, liturgists, and those interested in sacramental theology in the digital era will be interested in this one-of-a-kind publication.

The Episcopal Church's ninth and current Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas is Charles Andrew "Andy" Doyle. On May 24, 2008, he was chosen bishop coadjutor, and on June 7, 2009, he was crowned as Bishop of Texas. Doyle served as Canon to the Ordinary under his predecessor, Don A. Wimberly, before he was nominated Bishop of Texas. He stated that the Episcopal Diocese of Texas would launch a US$13 million racial reconciliation program in February 2020. The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, hailed and applauded this decision.
