THE PASTORAL CURRENT

Nor should the support from the hierarchy, and the value of diocesan liturgical commissions be forgotten. Liturgical renewal has to be built on history and research, and supported by the whole church, rather than be seen merely a reform of what is seen as good taste or aesthetically pleasing.

Fr John Glen was a founding member of the National Liturgical Committee

USA

The movement in the Catholic Church in England and Wales has indeed paralleled what liturgists on continental Europe and what Michael Marx OSB and Virgil Michel OSB inspired in the USA at Collegeville, and in the years between 1920 and 1950.
