Part I of this essay attempts to narrate both the radical democratic liturgies and the radical Christian liturgies that were operating in Georgia during the events leading up to and during the Rose Revolution of 2003. For this purpose, Kmara has served as the primary example of radical democracy and the EBCG functioned as the primary example of radical Christianity. The liturgies of Kmara and the EBCG incited non-violent revolution and therefore their liturgies in and of themselves were revolutionary. Most Christians have not traditionally considered their liturgy to be political and certainly not revolutionary, yet Bishop Songulashvili maintains that it was only through the liturgical reforms that took place within the Baptist church that they were then able to find themselves in solidarity with the movement for democracy.
