From the Editor

This year, we are celebrating the publication of the twenty-fifth volume of Antiphon. The journal began in 1996 with two issues, and every volume that has appeared since 1997 (with a hiatus in 2004) has contained three issues. At a time when liturgical studies and practice began to pursue new and promising directions, Antiphon has established itself as a platform for scholarly contributions to the ongoing discussions on the Church's divine worship. In 2017, Antiphon came under the aegis of the Catholic University of America Press, which now produces and distributes the peer-reviewed journal on behalf of the Society for Catholic Liturgy. The presence of Antiphon on the Project MUSE online database makes the journal accessible to researchers throughout the academic world. At the moment articles and reviews from volume 13 (2009) onwards are available on the database and we intend to add several volumes in the course of this year.

Sincere thanks are due to Msgr. Michael Heintz, Academic Dean and Director of Intellectual Formation at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, who is stepping down as reviews editor—a position he has held since 2009. His dedicated work has greatly enriched the journal for all readers. We extend a warm welcome to Fr. James Bradley, Assistant Professor of Canon Law at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, who has generously offered to take over as reviews editor from the next issue of the journal onwards.

The annual conference of the Society for Catholic Liturgy at Notre Dame University, scheduled for September 2020, had to be cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. The conference has been rescheduled for September 2021 (see the announcement in this issue) and we hope that what promises to be a stimulating and rewarding event can indeed take place this year.
