Diez convicciones esenciales en cuanto al acto de adoración cristiana

En el décimo aniversario del Calvin Institute of Christian Worship [Instituto Calvin de la Adoración Cristiana] en 2007, identificamos diez principios y prácticas esenciales para presentar como nuestras convicciones centrales sobre la adoración Cristiana vital. Estas convicciones esenciales no son innovaciones. Son verdades intemporales de la Escritura y de la historia rica de la adoración Cristiana.

Coop's Column- All Your Wondrous Works Proclaim
