She encourages all to encounter the Holy as she names the right relationship of the human with God and all of creation while offering antidotes to challenge hubris' narrow views on the subject.\"\u003cbr\u003e Very Rev. David G. Caron, OP, President, Aquinas Institute of Theology\u003cbr\u003e\"Postmodern consciousness locates our Christian community on a small planet earth within a vast expanding universe. Postmodern Christian theology invites us to recognize the post-resurrection cosmic Christ at the heart of this universe. Unfortunately, the church's sacramental and liturgical life-world is not yet attuned to this contemporary thought-world, and Vincie dares to name and explore this challenge to the praying church. What she offers her readers is not a clear resolution of a self-evident problem but rather the gift of a serious question for a renewing Christian liturgy.\"\u003cbr\u003e Mary Collins, OSB, Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison, Kansas; Professor Emerita, The Catholic University of America\u003cbr\u003e\"Vincie makes a timely and persuasive argument that the worship and sacramental life of the Christian churches must be transformed in light of the amazing discoveries of science and the insights of the New Cosmology. She provides a digest of emerging theologies of creation, Trinity, Christology, and pneumatology, as these have been shaped by a new cosmic consciousness, and offers samples of liturgical prayers, hymn texts, and an expanded festal calendar that reflect a more ecologically sensitive and cosmocentric awareness. A much-needed book!\"\u003cbr\u003e Mary E. McGann, RSCJ, Associate Professor of Liturgical Studies, Jesuit School of Theology\/Graduate Theological Union\u003cbr\u003e\"An ambitious and timely reflection on the possible intersection of science and liturgy.
