Learning through ritual is profoundly an educational process. Rituals performed in a congregation serve as educational processes communicating the central aspects of the congregation's core belief and identity. Contrary to common assumption, ritual is not thoughtless action or bodily movement devoid of meanings, but it discloses a significant body of information and knowledge. The most important beliefs and moral order (including norms and assumptions) of a congregation are revealed through ritual ceremony.

520 $a Learning through ritual is profoundly an educational process. Rituals performed in a congregation serve as educational processes communicating the central aspects of the congregation's core belief and identity. Contrary to common assumption, ritual is not thoughtless action or bodily movement devoid of meanings, but it discloses a significant body of information and knowledge. The most important beliefs and moral order (including norms and assumptions) of a congregation are revealed through ritual ceremony.
520 $a The educational effects of ritual practice are best understood when located within the context of the two educational dynamics---the process of socialization and transformation. This study explores the educational functions of ritual within these two educational dynamics in a congregation. Ritual practice inherently incorporates these two educational dynamics in efforts to provide the stability of social structure as well as facilitate the transformative potency of a congregation. Learning through ritual embodies both dynamics of socialization and transformation in the process of congregational identity formation.
520 $a In this study, Victor Turner's processual theory of ritual is investigated as the theoretical foundation, while discerning its insights and implications as well as theoretical relevancies of Turner's theory in relation to the dynamic process of congregational identity formation. Victor Turner's ritual theory provides a more integrative understanding of ritual---not only as static categories of observable phenomena, but also as phases of dynamic process. Ritual embraces both "structure" and "anti-structure," that is, in ritual practice, critical resources and the body of information are utilized both to enhance the stability and to promote the dynamic transformation of a community. Turner's concepts of "liminality" and "communitas" are vital to our understanding of the transformative nature of a congregation, particularly in the formative process of its collective identity.
520 $a The theoretical understanding of ritual's efficacies is also analyzed in light of a case study of a ritual of installation at a local Protestant congregation. The theoretical implications of Turner's understanding of ritual and the epistemological potency of ritual performance as a process of knowing are examined in relation to various aspects of the ritual of installation service. The various phases of identity formation that are intrinsic in the process are also investigated in light of Victor Turner's concept of the three phases in ritual process---(1) the preliminal, (2) the liminal, and (3) the postliminal phases.
