The privilege of Christian worship is the invitation to the community by our holy God to encounter the love of that living God and to be transformed by it and to nurture the transformation of one another.
The course that follows this syllabus would introduce the students to the interdisciplinary field known as liturgical studies. The course would explore liturgical history, liturgical theology, the place of ritual in the life of faith, as well as the application of a praxis-theory-praxis model to liturgical issues.
Leading worship requires attending to the specifics of a worshiping congregation, and yet many classrooms tend toward the general. This workshop looked at a new multi-media resource documenting the life of one Chicago congregation and designed to be a kind of “flight simulator” for worship leaders. It explored teaching worship leadership with a dual emphasis on theological content and congregational context.
