International Conference Andrea Grillo Professor of Sacramental Theology Pontificio Ateneo S. Anselmo, Rome, Italy A Model for the Church That Takes the Family as its Paradigm: Dining Room, Bedroom, and Bathroom as “Sensitive Areas” in the Christian Life? The objective of this paper is to develop a theory of the “domestic church” that is informed by two models of family life that are diverse but which can be compatible: the domestic family and the monastic family. Both have three typical areas in common (dining room, bedroom, and bathroom) that force ecclesial experience to step out of its ideological or clerical mindset. The power of communion in these areas, and their crisis in today’s society, offer possibilities as well as risk for the future. Andrea Grillo was born in Savona, Italy in 1961 where he still lives with his children Margherita and Giovanni Battista. He is on the theology faculty at the Pontifical University of St. Anselm in Rome. He also teaches liturgy at the Institute of Pastoral Liturgy (ILP) of the Monastery of Santa Giustina in Padua and theology at the University of Lugano in Switzerland. His areas of research also include anthropology and the philosophy of religion. Among his latest publications are included: - Introduzione alla teologia liturgica.
