EM/MC668 HA The Practice of Worship: Adv Studies in Worship Planning,
This course is designed to challenge students to envision, plan, staff and lead a variety of worship experiences with special attention focused on congregational formation. Students will explore worship through biblical analysis and theological reflection while also engaging in conversations on the role and function of the church and culture relative to worship. Students will further be tasked to compose various elements used within communal worship such as Call to Worship, Invocation, Doxology, Benediction and more. Students will also be assigned to select appropriate repertoire for the pairing of liturgical artistic expression with sermonic topics/ themes/ series. When possible, students will actually incorporate their work into the spiritual life of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary through the weekly chapel program.
