People who believe in Jesus as the Christ / Redeemer Lord, and who want to walk in His ways…to be challenged by that way…and are impelled / propelled / compelled to gather together and to proclaim that faith…to proclaim God’s word, together in an action of praise, thanksgiving, prayer…using words, gestures, signs / symbols [=ritual]…recalling the memory of Jesus (His life, His work, His death and resurrection)…and realising that His life and work still continue…today…that these words, signs have the power of God, that they celebrate the presence of Jesus…as we gather and move on, in mission in our world, waiting for his coming in glory and our future participation in the heavenly liturgy.
