'We Pray by His Mouth': Karl Barth, Erving Goffman, and a Theology of Invocation.
Rereading the opening question of the Westminster Catechism, "What is the chief end of man?", I contend in this essay that the act of invocation - giving God thanks, praise, and petitions - is the act in and through which human being itself is founded, constituted and achieved.
