Psych for Theology & Ministry: Laird Edman

Nothing gets Laird more excited than talking about ritual. "It's so important!" he reminds us. Rituals are tools that engage our bodies, reinforce beliefs, shape our character, and can powerfully transform social groups. Our Christian communities discern together what rituals are practiced and what they mean. But like most tools, they can be used for harm as well. Laird offers a vision of hope for how the church can harness the power of rituals to help us become the force for good we're meant to be.
