Our faith matters a great deal for how and why we work, and we can all grow in making this vision more specific and tangible. The liturgy not only effects how we approach our weekday work, but our weekday work also shapes how we inhabit Sunday worship. This session will explore how public congregational worship relates to faith and work, exploring tangible ideas of preaching, public prayer, and the arts.
Participants: Peter Choi, Laura Robinson Harbert, Meg Jenista, Matthew Kaemingk, and Reggie Smith, moderated by Cory Willson
Explore how Christians in the earliest centuries of Christianity engaged topics related to wealth and poverty in their preaching, public prayers, offerings, celebrations of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and the shaping of buildings and spaces for Christian worship.
How did early Christians understand their illness and pain in their Greco-Roman context?
Pastors of three Hispanic churches will share what they learned from experiences implementing congregational projects related to the development of new understandings and practices of worship and preaching.
