Worship as a Way of Life
Worship isn’t just something that happens (or that we “do”) on a Sunday. It encompasses our entire week—and the whole of our lives. Compare how Christian traditions “worship” throughout the year and reflect on the church’s consecration of time and space. Survey the church calendar, liturgy, and tradition.
In this course, we will expand our concept of worship from something that happens (or that ‘we do’) on a Sunday to that which encompasses our entire week – and the whole of our lives. We will examine Christ’s role as priest of our worship; our role as ‘priests’ of creation; and the Trinitarian interplay between the two. We will spend time on structured elements of Christianity like the church calendar, liturgy and tradition; we will compare differing Christian traditions’ understanding of worship throughout the year; we will see how the church sought to consecrate time and space, even as it tried to move worship out into the everyday avenues of our lives as mothers, farmers, artists, commuters, ministers and more.
