Liturgy after the Liturgy' refers to the Eucharistic experience that moves Christians, when they leave the church at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, to share the gift they received so that this world may be transformed into the Kingdom of God. First used by Anastasios Yannoulatos, then Bishop of Androussa and now Archbishop of Tirana, Durres and All Albania, at Etchmiadzin (Armenia) in 1975. The expression 'liturgy after the Liturgy' has since been adopted by many theologians to signify the Church's multifaceted mission and witness of service in the world. With this succinct and felicitous phrase, its originator called the faithful to a perpetually Eucharistic attitude in their daily life, which expresses the passion and struggle for the transformation of the world into the Church of Christ. Our study presents the theological roots distilled into this now familiar phrase, as found in the writings of Anastasios Yannoulatos in the 1960s and afterwards. 'Liturgy after the Liturgy' is an exhortation to missionary outreach which originated with Archbishop Anastasios and which, coupled with Christ's resurrectional command to teach all nations, shaped his missionary witness and ecclesiastical diaconate.
