To see the rites joined together as such challenges their understanding of these rites.
How the comparative method and/or other methodologies of liturgical inquiry are employed to address the problem;
Taft compares the function of the "Angel of Peace Biddings" to the "Inclination Prayer of CHR" as a prayer of conclusion sometimes added to the beginning of communion rites.
Taft has limited primary accounts of the precommunion rites and has to rely on inference from historical trends. He notes that the Inclination Prayer was added to communion rites at roughly the period when some of the faithful who felt unfit to receive the sacrament started leaving at the start of the communion period.
Taft observes that the Inclination Prayer of CHR, as a prayer of conclusion, also functions as a prayer of dismissal. He proposes that the Inclination Prayer of CHR, as a prayer of conclusion, was adapted for its dismissal functions to the standard communion...
Thus, giving the Inclination Prayer of CHR at the start of a larger litany of petition would allow some of the gather to formally exit while preserving the litany for the rest of the gathered.
Conclusion
Taft concludes that the Inclination Prayer of CHR and the Angel of Peace Biddings were added to the precommunion litany as a prayer of dismissal for the departing non-communicants, in order to give some ritual shape and liturgical control to the development of the faithful who felt unfit to receive the sacrament departing from the church during the rites.
Critical Evaluation of the Reading
Taft's conclusion, considering the available evidence, is very creative and very insightful. However, it will be difficult to determine the accuracy of his conclusions until more is uncovered about the development of precommunion rites, mainly whether they were often combined and improvised in the manner poposed by Taft.

Ecclesiology also takes into account the way organizational structures, hierarchies, and roles within the church have changed and reflect the nuances of a cultural milieu or historical epoch. In addition to
Donatist Heresy An Analysis of the Problems Posed by the Donatists in the Early Catholic Church Introduction Donatus Magnus represents a kind of Puritanism that has always existed in the Church. The Donatist movement of the early fourth century was a response to perceived laxity on the part of Church officials concerning Catholics who had lapsed out of fear under the persecutions of Diocletian. That was one side of the argument, at least.
Jerusalem is arguably Christianity's most important city, during the time of the New Testament all the way up to today. Though control of the city has changed hands many times, its main role has been as the capital of Israel and the site of the Jewish temple, and indeed, Jerusalem plays an important role in the Old Testament history of Israel's founding and growth (Armstrong, 2005, p. 194). However, it
It seems to her, says Flaubert, that her being, rising toward God, is going to be annihilated in love like burning incense that dissipates in vapor. But her response during this phenomenon remains curiously erotic... The waving of the green palm leaves relates this scene to the previous scenes of sexual seduction. (Duncan para, 5) At times, the green in the novel moves from springtime to the idea of the
Magical Realism in Ana Castillo's 'So Far From God' When looking for the magical realism in Ana Castillo's So Far From God, and for those readers who know her work and her cultural background, one of the ways in which the author employs magical realism is as a skilled fiction writer.

Penetrate Global Markets Global marketing in today's world depends upon a mix of technological and cultural understanding as Spillan (2012) points out: the "reach of the Internet to unknown places" and the "social environments that exist in global regional market segments" help to drive the global economy and the markets that exist within it. Therefore, comprehending how the Internet and various social media outlets intersect and interact with social environments,
