Speaking Together and with God: Liturgy and Communicative Ethics
Speaking Together focuses on the roles that liturgical practices play in promoting genuinely communicative forms of speaking and action. McClure shows how confession, intercession, and preaching can contribute to sincere, multi-perspectival, and truth-seeking conversations regarding moral norms in an increasingly pluralistic world.

Praise for this book
A timely argument that our liturgical practices are redemptive only insofar as they are communicative, meaning: justice-making and productive of mutual understanding between different bodies. McClure's resultant vision of confession, intercession and preaching disrupts their habitually subjective descriptions, and invites much-needed critical questions about power, inside and outside the Church.
John McClure does it again: revisiting traditional concepts in such a way that it becomes new and indeed inspiring. In this book, he takes liturgy back to where it belongs: life. The old saying: as you pray, so you believe (lex orandi, lex credendi), is given flesh and blood: as you pray, so you believe, so you live, so you live together (lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi, lex convivendi). Liturgy becomes other-wise, i.e. street-wise!
Speaking Together and with God breaks new ground by creating an intersection between liturgical practices and communicative ethics. In this book, McClure draws upon his internationally acknowledged reservoir of knowledge in order to uncover how the practices of confession, intercession, and preaching bear the potential of creating redemptive forms of communication and a genuine openness to the other.
John McClure makes a ground-breaking practical-theological contribution to public theology in these pages. He traces carefully the cross-migration of liturgical/homiletical and discursive practices that impacts today's pluralistic public square. McClure's work here is both discerning and engaging.
