The Reception of the Second Vatican Council's Liturgical Reforms in Nigeria (Nsukka Diocese)

Fifty years after the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, a great moment has dawned in which a more dispassionate assessment of the reception of this important document has become imperative in order to enable the Church undertake necessary steps to realising the full potentials of the renewal envisaged by the Council Fathers.

The present study identified peculiar and diverse challenges confronting the process of reception in Nsukka Diocese/Nigerian Church today. However, the author acknowledges that the full reception of Sacrosanctum Concilium is still a work-in-progress.
