If you want to build faith capable of maintaining stability and continuity, you need to regularly attend a church that celebrates a fixed liturgy. That’s how individuals come to be “shaped by the Christian story.” “Liturgical rhythm is a kind of music by which the truth of the gospel is inculcated over time,” writes Chan in his book Liturgical Theology.7 He adds that the liturgy is a “journey toward an intended end” and constitutes “the living out of our baptismal faith in the body.”
