Episode 10: And the 2002 Berakah Award goes to… with special guest Dr. Don E. Saliers

Meet Father Rivers

Emily and Eric detail how Fr. Clarence Rivers received, in 2002, the prestigious Berakah Award, an award given by the North American Academy of Liturgy (NAAL) to honor distinguished contributors to the field of professional liturgy. The hosts interview scholar of liturgy, musician and clinician Dr. Don E. Saliers, theologian-in-residence at Emory’s Candler School of Theology, who composed the text of Fr. Rivers’ Berakah Award, poetically and beautifully capturing Fr. Rivers’ spirit and contributions to the liturgical life. The conversion broadens to include the profoundly ecumenical character of the 20th century liturgical movement and the ways in which Fr. Rivers’ influence extends well beyond the Catholic tradition, helping Christians of many traditions re-imagine worship. Access the show notes from episode 10 by clicking this link.
