ABSTRACT
In Part I, we argued that the people and God are the main characters in the story of the liturgy. Both are addressed by the other and both tell their stories. However, our empirical observations made clear that as a matter of fact the liturgical presider has much more narrative space than the main characters. In the present chapter we will search by way of theological reection what the consequences are of the limits to the narrative space of God and people, and how this space might be enlarged. In line with the research question for this project, the focus is on the narrative space for suering.
