Ritualizing covenantal relationships


Description

Creating rites and ceremonies which will adequately symbolize the varied primal covenants of an individual. The effect is to provide him with a means of reminding himself of the significance of his life.

Context

An integral part of remodelling celebrational life to give ultimate significance to the life of every local man.

Implementation

Tactics include: community commonality to dramatize the fact that a given human grouping is one body with each part being necessary to the whole; family life to sustain the family by keeping it aware of the meaning and significance of its covenant; world interdependence to enable men to take global responsibility by rehearsing the interdependence in the world; societal organizations to bring about authentic participation in societal groups through understanding the role and importance of particular associations; and vocational stations to create a renewed vision of the crucial nature of vocational involvement in the global and local context. An example is a couple who took a ten day trip on their tenth wedding anniversary and spent each day recounting the relationship they had taken to each other and to their covenant during a particular year.
