More than a century of local, national, and international migrations has shaped and reshaped the neighborhood, transforming streets into borderlines and the parish into a waystation. Today, the church sustains a community of Black, Caribbean, Latin American, and Euro-American parishioners from Roxbury and beyond. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003ePeople Get Ready\u003c\/i\u003e, Susan Reynolds draws on six years of ethnographic research to examine embodied ritual as a site of radical solidarity in the local church. Weaving together archived letters, oral histories, stories, photographs, newspaper articles, and newly examined archdiocesan documents, Reynolds traces how the people of St. Mary's constructed rituals of solidarity as a practical foundation for building bridges across difference. She looks beyond liturgy to unexpected places, from Mass announcements to parish council meetings, from the Good Friday Via Crucis through neighborhood streets to protests staged in and around the church in the wake of Boston's 2004 parish shutdowns. Through ethnography and Catholic ecclesiology, Reynolds argues for a retrieval of Vatican II's notion of ecclesial solidarity as a basis for the mission of the local church in an age of migration, displacement, and change.\u003cbr\u003e It is through the work of ritual, the story of St. Mary's reveals, that we learn to negotiate the borders in our midst—to cultivate friendships, exercise power, build peace, and, in a real way, to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Unstable Communities of the Faithful   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eBeyond Unity in Diversity   30\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eUrban Borderlands   63\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eReceiving Vatican II in Roxbury   88\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003ePassion of the Neighborhood   116\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eRitualizing Solidarity   161\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eStaying Alive   188\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAppendix\u003c\/b\u003e: Interviews   205\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  213\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  217\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  259\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619263738136,"sku":"9781531502003","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/people-get-ready-ritual-solidarity-and-lived-ecclesiology-in-catholic-roxbury-hardback-9781531502003","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
