- Abstract:
- This thesis-project maps out a practical theology of liturgical preaching from the experience of St. Dominic Church in Miami, Florida. The method of theological reflection that is operative in this thesis project is one of praxis-theory praxis. It is a practical theology that is grounded in a communal and grass-roots methodology that has been operative in U.S. Hispanic ministry for the last forty years. After a comprehensive ministerial, demographic and socio-political analysis of the parish community, the thesis-project explores preaching as the meeting point of faith and culture. Subsequently, the thesis-project places this concept of preaching as inculturation in dialogue with a theology of preaching that is rooted in the belief that human experience is a locus of God’s self-revelation. Thus, attentiveness to culture is crucial in homiletic preparation not only for the purpose of effective communication, but also because it is text for liturgical preaching along with Sacred Scripture and the liturgical rite. The thesis-project concludes with the presentation of a method in preaching that mirrors the communal and grass-roots methodology embraced by the thesis-project itself. The outcome is a theology of preaching that sees the homily as the proclamation of the story of salvation that must include the soteriological narrative revealed in the life experience of the community of faith.
