Course Objective:
Worship has a long and ever growing history in the worship and ritual life of Christian and all expressions of worship. Over the course of this semester, we will explore the foundations of Christian worship and learn how they are now manifesting in our modern worship. The purpose of this approach is to engage in the planning of worship and the writing of liturgy that will reflect the power of the ritual to build community, speak to the lives of people and to move deeper into Christian faith through worship. Students are expected to understand the sacramental elements of worship and to relate historical worship patterns to their own faith traditions. In this class we will explore expansive language for God and as such will use such language in class.
