Convening is a mode of practical theology inquiry that stages a counter-performance to the spectacle of prominent logics that order ecclesial life: brand Christianity, silos, and competition. Three parts organize this argument: Part I sets the stage with a preliminary portrait of convening, noting the contextual features of this inquiry. Part II introduces Augustine’s City of God as an interpretive lens to understand convening as a counter-performance to prominent spectacles on display. Part III redescribes convening by combining Augustine’s theological vision of spectacle, performance, latreia, and pilgrimage with the introductory portrait in order to perform what is possible when people of faith gather for collective inquiry.

朝圣者的表演：作为召集的实用神学

召集是一种实用神学探究的模式，它对支配教会生活的突出逻辑的奇观进行了反表演：品牌基督教、筒仓和竞争。三个部分组织了这一论点：第一部分为会议的初步描述奠定了基础，并指出了这次调查的背景特征。第二部分介绍奥古斯丁的上帝之城作为一个解释性的镜头，将召集理解为与所展示的引人注目的表演相反的表现。第三部分结合奥古斯丁对奇观、表演、拉特雷亚，以及带着介绍性肖像的朝圣，以实现当有信仰的人们聚集在一起进行集体探究时可能发生的事情。
