Revelation 4:8

August 5, 2007 / Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

You are attracted to liturgy but don’t quite know why. Or, after years of liturgical worship, you find yourself in a slough of despondency. Whatever your current liturgical experience, you’ll likely benefit from this class by Mark Galli, senior managing editor of Christianity Today and Rez member. It is based on his just published book, Beyond Bells & Smells: The Wonder and Power of Christian Liturgy. He’ll mix some readings of the book and some discussion to help us appreciate the liturgy ever more deeply.

This now classic book, For the Life of the World by Orthodox theologian Alexander Schmemann, has been influential in the life of Rez clergy and some leaders. CLT is going to introduce and unpack some of its rich and inspiring thoughts about worship and the mission of the church. This session was lead by Dr. Jay Wood, professor of philosophy at Wheaton College.
