Putting Christian Worship: Foundations to Work

Commissioned in connection with our hymnal project, Christian Worship: Foundations offers 19 chapters by eight WELS pastors on topics such as music, art, liturgy, creativity, and outreach. Special attention is given to discussing the features of our new hymnal’s orders of service. This workshop will introduce participants to Foundations and offer resources for studying and discussing it in their local settings. In connection with this volume, Prof. James Tiefel writes: “I’ve now read Foundations twice, once quickly and once slowly. I am amazed again and again how excellent this book is! I wish I had owned it before I started teaching at the seminary!”
