One of the hallmarks of modern society has been a heightened awareness of human bodiliness in all aspects of life- sexual, economic, legal, religious, and so on. Academia has also experienced a heightened awareness of the body. Along with the academy and wider society, Christian theology and pastoral practice have sought to take human bodiliness more prominently into account. However, the ambiguous "career" the body has had in Christian history and tradition, as well as the serious criticisms leveled by secular society at the Church's teachings and practices concerning the body, has made this a challenging task.

Bodies of Worship takes on that challenge. First, it systematically explores the various bodies engaged in the Church's worship-ecclesial, ritual, personal, and cultural. It examines each in light of how such humanly sanctifying work continues Christ's mission in the power of the Holy Spirit. The five chapters of Part One are purposefully arranged so they unfold the multivalancy of bodies at worship, thus displaying a certain theological coherence. Then the four chapters in Part Two describe and analyze specific liturgical, physical, and spiritual practices. These chapters offer further insights into the irreducibly bodily nature of the celebration of the Christian life as worship of God.

The entire work is introduced by means of a narrative that describes an actual liturgy which took place just a few years ago. A brief conclusion reflects back across the landscape of the chapters to the narrative and symbolic basis for liturgical theology insofar as it is, at origin and end, practical and pastoral.

Chapters and authors in Part One are the introduction "Initial Considerations: Theory and Practice of the Body in Liturgy Today," by Bruce T. Morrill, SJ; "The Many Bodies of Worship: Locating the Spirit's Work," by Bruce T. Morrill, SJ; "Body and Mystical Body: The Church as Communion," by Bernard J. Cooke; "The Liturgical Body: Symbol and Ritual," by Margaret Mary Kelleher, OSU; "Spirituality and the Body," by Colleen M. Griffith; and "The Cultural Bodies of Worship," by James L. Empereur, SJ.

Chapters and authors in Part Two are "Christian Marriage: Sacramentality and Ritual Forms," by Paul Covino; "Walking the Labyrinth: Recovering a Sacred Tradition," by Bruce T. Morrill, SJ, with Leo Keegan; "The Physicality of Worship," by James L. Empereur, SJ; "Liturgical Music: Bodies Proclaiming and Responding to the Word of God," by Bruce T. Morrill, SJ, with Andrea Goodrich; and the onclusion "Nonsystematic Reflections on the Practical Character of Liturgy and Theology," by Bruce T. Morrill, SJ.

Bruce T. Morrill, SJ, holds the Edward A. Malloy Chair of Catholic Studies in the divinity school at Vanderbilt University where he is also Professor of Theological Studies. In addition to numerous journal articles, book chapters, and reviews, he has published several books, most recently Encountering Christ in the Eucharist: The Paschal Mystery in People, Word, and Sacrament (Paulist Press, 2012). His most recent book with liturgical Press is Divine Worship and Human Healing: Liturgical Theology at the Margins of Life and Death Pueblo/Liturgical Press, 2009).

I neglected to resolve the issue with the ink pad on my printer when it first notified me, so in the process of fulfilling an order for my business the printer decided it didn't want to work anymore, we tried to do a temporary fix but to no avail, had to order brand new inkpad, came across this brand and I am so glad that I did, not only does it come with an extra pad refill it also comes with very simple instructions to reset the waste ink counter, very user friendly, although I did run into a few hiccups and I reached out to them by email and within 24 hrs a very nice Delores answered all my questions and was very helpful, even though I had to switch the USB to my desktop and then dbl checked to make sure it was fully into the printer, a few clicks on the reset program and my printer was back in full performance. I had bought a key for 9.99 previously before ordering from this company and they even offered to refund me even when it wasn't bought thru them. Now, that's great customer service. Highly recommend this item.

Windows OS only, Software Sketchy but works. Use with precautions and do a security scan afterwards.
Ok, I was really annoyed when I found out this waste ink pad causes the printer to be "end of life." I currently have the ET2800, and after 15,500 pages, I got this message. I own a small stationery business, which is why I print a lot. However, I used to work on large multi-function printers that had user-replaceable waste ink cartridges. I called Epson in hopes that they would just send me the part and be done with it. BUT NOPE, they wanted me to send in pictures, then I had to either send the printer in or get a certified technician to work on it. I looked online and found this, along with several videos on how a regular user can replace it themselves. It was easy, with no issues. You do need to physically plug the printer into your computer. OH, and the SOFTWARE is only compatible ON WINDOWS; it does not work on MAC OS and GOOGLE OS. Just FYI. The only problem I had was that the software, which is usually offered by third-party products from Amazon, has a sketchy website attached to it. BUT this was the best one to use because you DO NOT NEED A KEY to reset the waste ink counter. You simply use their application, and that's it. One tip I suggest is to uninstall or delete the application and its folder after you have finished resetting. Also, empty your recycle bin. Then run a quick Windows security scan.
