Abstract
Where Two or Three are Gathered is a much needed illustration of how Christians, and especially Catholics, can better understand their call to marriage and family in its ecclesial dimension and thus more intentionally "find God in everyday life" (8). Regrettably, few theologians take the term as serious theological discourse, and the development of the teaching of the family as domestic church is sorely lacking at the parish level, in the governance of the Church, in marriage preparation, in relation to interdenominational Christian marriages, or in the reformulation of catechesis. Bourg then asks a theological question: what is the sacramental foundation of a domestic church-baptism? marriage? both? I particularly enjoyed not only the discussion of whether baptism or marriage ground the domestic church (chapter 6), but also her treatment of the question of whether the "traditional" nuclear family is the only possible model for the domestic church (chapter 7).
