The North American Academy of Liturgy (NAAL) (http://www.naal-liturgy.org) is an ecumenical and interreligious association of liturgical scholars who collaborate in research concerning public worship. The Academy’s purpose is to promote liturgical scholarship among its members through opportunities for exchange of ideas and to extend the benefits of this scholarship to the worshiping communities to which its members belong. The Proceedings of the North American Academy of Liturgy is published annually by the Academy for its membership and for scholars, libraries, and religious communities and organizations that would benefit from the research and collaboration of the Academy.
