She combines a deep study of scripture and of church teaching with the exegesis of story-telling as she discusses each of our rites of initiation: Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRites of Justice explores each sacrament fully, including its origins in scripture, its practice today, its ethical teaching, and what this means for the way we live our lives. Throughout there is constant reference to the Rite for Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), including an extended ritual written by McKenna intended for use with the majority of Christians, baptized as infants, who never received formal initiation as adults into the rituals of the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan McKenna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570751080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570751080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.18w x 0.56d","brand":"Megan McKenna","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44170025763071,"sku":"9781570751080","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84e1d0df-1a88-43ab-b869-1e09e834ba09.jpg?v=1689656374","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rites-of-justice-megan-mckenna-9781570751080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
