Our Lutheran liturgical heritage is a positive evolution of the New Testament and early Church, which in turn comes from the Old Testament as was practiced by Jesus Himself.  Jesus’ table fellowship with sinners sets the pattern of Christian worship as one of teaching and eating.  But many people in today’s Church are asking:  What is liturgy and what is our theology of worship?  What is distinctive about our Lutheran liturgy?  May we adapt our liturgy to today’s world to make it more relevant?  These questions and many others will be addressed by looking at our Lutheran liturgy yesterday, today and forever.  (3.0 CEU)
