Liturgical Reform

Liturgical reform refers to changes made to the rituals and practices of worship within religious traditions, particularly in Christianity. It aims to make the liturgy more relevant and meaningful to modern congregations, often enhancing participation and understanding. One significant example is the post-Vatican II reforms in the Catholic Church during the 1960s, which allowed the Mass to be celebrated in local languages instead of Latin, inviting greater involvement from the congregation. Such reforms often address theological, cultural, and social contexts, ensuring that worship remains vibrant and accessible for contemporary believers.
