Theology in the Episcopal Tradition
Lent begins this week, and here on YP Theology we will be marking the season with a series of occasional posts about “Lent for a Small Planet”: ways to think about, pray about, and practice creation care as part of our Lenten observance.
This will include discussion about the theology and tradition of meatless eating (and recipes!).
Posts begin on Thursday; see you then!
Erin Wiens St. John’s series on Reinvigorating your Liturgy continues with a final post at Reformation 4.0 today:
“Rather than preaching a sermon, [the pastor] paused before each part of the service to explain its significance. After each mini-sermon, the congregation launched into that part of the service, with their enthusiasm and devotion renewed by a refreshed connection to each piece of the liturgy.
A new post from Erin Wiens St. John in her series on liturgy at Reformation 4.0:
“This kind of education leaves more breathing room in weekly worship, too. If your congregation comes prepared to find God in the rhythm of the liturgy, it won’t matter so much if your sermon is lackluster, if the choir is off-key, or the technology fails.
Rather than being reliant on the pastor each week to show the way to Christ, congregants will be able to find God for themselves, too.
I like to think that Martin Luther would approve.”
