Excerpt from The Liturgical Question With Reference to the Provisional Liturgy of the German Reformed Church: A Report
One may see the importance of public liturgical worship by considering how, in its absence, even the primary and most necessary forms Of religious confession and devotion are apt to fall into disuse, and to become thus in the end as strange almost to the family and the school as they are to the church. It is not too much to saythat the Lord's Prayer itself, in such circumstances, can never be held in proper honor and use. Where the unliturgical spirit prevails, it seems to have no proper home even in the Christian sanctuary. We have Whole religious denominations, among whom its voice is scarcely ever heard in pulpit devotion. And what shall we say of the Creed, the Apostles' Creed, the Old, glorious orifiamb of Christ's sacramental host from the beginning? There, among unliturgical churches, do we find it lifted up as a standard, from Sabbath to Sabbath, in the name of the Lord? In such churches the Creed is never brought into use at all as a part of worship. Its introduction in this way would be regarded generally, indeed, as an exceptionable singularity, a novelty not to be ad mired or approved. Thus practically disowned in the sanctuary, the devotional xsymbol finds no home either in the family. It is a most significant fact.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex subject of liturgical worship, examining the perspectives on the meaning and purpose of liturgy throughout Christian history. The author juxtaposes two primary concepts of liturgy: one focusing on the mechanical use of written forms and prayers, while the other emphasizes the liturgy as a priestly, sacramental act centered around the Christian altar, reflecting the movement of the Christian life through the church year. The thematic exploration includes dimensions of liturgy such as the sense of the sacramental, the priestly character, correspondence with the Christian year, and active participation by the congregation. This discussion highlights the significant insights gained from studying liturgical forms, which offers a deeper understanding of the Christian experience.
