Understanding and Valuing Occasional Religious Practice

The pews overflow on Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday. A mother reaches out to a local church for the first time to request the baptism of her newborn. The death of a public figure is marked with an extravagant funeral at a cathedral. These are all examples of what Sarah Kathleen Johnson (Assistant Professor of Liturgy and Pastoral Theology, Saint Paul University, Ottawa) calls occasional religious practice and explores as a primary way that people continue to relate to Christianity in increasingly nonreligious and religiously diverse contexts.

The Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Islands & Inlets seeks a full-time incumbent for the parish of St. Peter’s in Comox, British Columbia.
