CHANCEL DRAMA AND ULTIMATE REALITY: AN APPLICATION OF PAUL TILLICH'S THEORY OF AESTHETICS TO THE FUNCTIONAL ASPECTS OF CHANCEL DRAMA PRODUCTION.
Abstract
The past few decades have witnessed a revival of interest in religious theatre both inside and outside of the organized Church. Never since the medieval period has Christian religious theatre reached such a high level of activity. Churches have long persisted in presenting innocuous Christmas and Easter pageants as part of their church education and music programs, but many are now beginning to experiment with more serious uses of drama. In recent years my office has received an increasing number of inquiries from pastors of the American Lutheran Church requesting information about quality scripts and materials for use in their church programs. Interest in this area has increased to such an extent that the general catalog of scripts handled by Baker's Plays, Boston, Massachusetts, includes a special section devoted to religious plays and pageants. In response to the increased market, Samuel French, Inc. of New York City has adopted a similar practice.
