About Our Worship
The common form of Lutheran Worship has always involved liturgy. This uses a set order of service that has been developed by the publishing house of the ELCA. This of course creates a unity due to the similarity of worship formate amongst the many congregations of the ELCA. Yet, there is no mandate for how worship must flow from the ELCA, and this seen by the latest hymn book, "Evangelical Lutheran Worship" that has 10 different liturgies. In fact Martin Luther contemporized the traditional mass by translating it into German, offering both bread and wine to communicants, and writing many contemporary music hymns, (Now of course these hymns are seen as old). Lutheran Worship thus is not a means of entertainment, but rather a giving and taking such that God is worshiped by our praise in the service and then beyond the worship service by our obedient response to God's grace that saves. |
