Text of Note

This dissertation is an attempt to connect the borders of eucharistic tables to the margins of society. Two main words, "with" and "negotiation," guide the main question of this dissertation: how do we connect the ordered world of the eucharistic sacrament to a terribly disordered world? This dissertation engages with conceptual and practical aspects of borders. Taking on globalization processes, particularly international migration, the author challenges borders of liturgical practices, especially around the sacrament of the Eucharist through the notion of hospitality. Using the theoretical framework of Jacques Derrida on hospitality, John Calvin on the eucharistic sacrament and New Testament scholarship on early Christian Churches and Greco-Roman meals, the author analyzes critically the ways in which the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) understands and practices the sacrament of the eucharist. By demonstrating the ways in which feminist liturgists in United States and Base Ecclesial Communities in Brazil have engaged and challenged ecclesiological, theological and liturgical borders of the sacrament, the author demonstrates that different practices can change the ways the sacrament is presently understood and ritualized. Throughout the dissertation, eucharistic tables are consistently shown to be marked by political, social, class, gender and sexual aspects. At the end, a hospitable borderless border eucharist is proposed. This Sisyphus task of creating, relocating, negotiating, dismantling and redrawing borders around the eucharistic table is what borderless borders means.
