Hi co-students,
My area of issue is Liturgical worship.
Understanding the flow of good worship is foundational. Having in mind a sense of where worship begins, what touchstones to pass, and what destination to pursue serves to guide right thinking and planning of service. What I am having in mind is i have chosen a regular sunday worship service liturgy. I am mainly into order of service that is that we know what will happen first, next, till we reach where we are supposed to go. It is important we know where we start and we are going to end, so what ever goes on in between is a journery related to our destination. For example, a prelude- what is prelude, and how is that important to our worship theologically, or hymns, sciptures, creeds etc. Please any comments on this to help me if i am on the right track
thanks
dorothy

It sounds like you are identifying an anatomy of a service, with a dictionary of Religious terminology. If this is the case then you are well on your way to structuring your essay, how ever you could add a depth of meaning to the terms by discribing the "what does that mean to me/ so what?" thought and discribe the reason behind the meaning.

Dorothy, it will be important that you spend some time working through the "theory" of liturgy - what is meant by the term and how it is interpretted in vartious traditions. This will help you then move on to an actual order of service. Don't ruch into that too soon. let the reading and comparisons with others shape your thinking and the practical outworking of your Order of Service
ReplyDeleteThis can be a very wide topic. You may want to narrow it down to a specific setting. ie: Liturgy in the church in PNG. or Liturgy in the Wesleyan tradition, or something like that.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
