Christian worship emerges from and speaks back into human relationships that are necessarily shaped by power and authority. Free Churches structure and negotiate power in relation to worship in ways that reflect the decentralization, local diversity, and personal agency that characterize many aspects of Free Church theology and practice. This volume models how dialogue among scholars and practitioners of Free Church worship, as well as dialogue with the wider church, can be mutually enriching as Christians strive together to worship in ways that are faithful and just.

With a foreword by Lisa M. Weaver and an afterword by John D. Witvliet, other contributors include Ronald J. Allen, Isaac S. Villegas, Jaewoong Jung, Jonathan Ottaway, Emily Snider Andrews, Chelsea Brooke Yarborough, Dorothy Mendez, Tanya Riches, Andrew Davies, and Casey T. Sigmon.
