The essays in this issue of Liturgy focus on worship as a tool for negotiating individual and collective identity. Ethicist Kwame Appiah has several salient observations about identity that are germane to the theme of this issue of Liturgy. He writes that “identities come, first, with labels and ideas about why and to whom they should be applied. Second, your identity shapes your thoughts about how you should behave; and third, it affects the way other people treat you. Finally, all these dimensions of identity are contestable, always up for dispute: who’s in, what they’re like, how they should behave and be treated.”
