Summary: | The Scottish ethnologist, Victor Turner's (1920-1983) theory of ritual procedure with its central themes of "liminality" and "communitas", have been taken up by theologians in the last fifteen years. His theory is sketched here with reference to its reception in Pastoral Theology. The "Taufbuch" (2000) of the Evangelical United Church in Germany (EKU) shows the advantages of this theory for an analysis of baptismal procedure as a liminal process, liminoid procession, and social drama. Using Turner's theoretical framework, the article proposes to understand Pastoral theology as a theological theory of cultural practice and experience in the church. |
