Who We Are

The Australian Academy of Liturgy is an ecumenical association of specialists in Christian Liturgy and related disciplines, with a particular commitment to the understanding and development of liturgy in the Australian context.

It is the Academy’s purpose:

• To provide channels for mutual professional assistance and for sharing of methods and resources;
• To exchange information concerning recent developments in liturgical matters;
• To communicate information concerning research projects and activities of its members;
• To foster liturgical research, publication, and dialogue at a scholarly level;
• To publish the Australian Journal of Liturgy;
• To encourage exchanges with individuals and communities of other religious traditions.

It is the intent of the Academy that the work detailed above will ultimately serve to animate the liturgical spirit of the traditions and congregations to which its members belong.
