A presentation by Gerardo Oberman on worship renewal in a Latin American context.

One of the most beautiful things that we celebrate each spring at our house is the appearance of new flowers that beautify the garden and announce the arrival of spring,renewing life as well as hope. And the most marvelous thing is that even when the colors and aromas of the flowers are repeated, the garden is never quite the same. It is always new, always different, always astonishing, always a miracle. When I think of the process of liturgical renewal in Latin America, I think of the image of the garden of life, constantly renewed by the creating and re-creating action of God, celebrated once and again by his people in a thousand diverse ways.

Presented at the 2009 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
