Résumé:Crises are viewed as direct challenges to one's communal patterns of living. The individual response to crisis(-es) is mediated by the "grand rituals of the culture."

Ritual behaviors are understood as liturgical and/or sacramental responses to those crises that bring one to the brink of chaos.
