Lester Ruth
Description from DukeHub
This course aims for instilling in students a theologically informed, pastorally sensitive confidence in planning and leading the worship of Christian congregations. 'Traditional,' 'Contemporary,' and other recent developments in worship will be considered respectfully. With respect to topics, this course introduces students to the history, theology, and practice of Christian worship from an ecumenical perspective. It surveys major aspects of worship, including the Lord's Day, the Christian calendar, Word and sacraments/ordinances, daily and occasional services, music, space, and the arts.
