This leads to an theologies of baptism, deal with “a theology that” emphasis on baby drama, water drama, and other believed in “the necessity of baptism for salvation,” and congregational acts (pp. 24–26, 220).

  • German—English Lenten Singstunde
    German—English Lenten Singstunde 2010 Central Moravian Church Moravian Archives Moravian Music Foundation 2 A Singstunde is a traditional Moravian form of worship in which the congregation unites in singing a series of hymn stanzas. The stanzas are selected to develop a specific devotional theme. A Singstunde is sometimes referred to as “a sermon in song.” Many early Moravian liturgies used the form of the Singstunde. A popular Moravian liturgy was called O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. It combined this well-known hymn by Paul Gerhardt with verses from various other hymns. Until the early 19th century Moravians in Bethlehem sang this liturgy every Friday evening, as a weekly celebration of Good Friday. Tonight’s service is inspired by this liturgy. Stanzas are used from O Sacred Head, Now Wounded, combined with stanzas from other hymns. Also included in this liturgy are traditional Moravian liturgical elements from the Litany of the Life, Passion and Death of Jesus. The service concludes with the traditional ending of the Church Litany (parts of the Festal Doxology).

ISBN 978-951-51-0001-6 (PDF) 5 Esipuhe Tämä tutkimusprojekti käynnistyi unesta. Se ei ollut ilmestys eikä painajainen. Olin miettinyt tiiviin työrupeamani keskellä jatko-opintoja, mutta aihe oli täysin auki. Polun pää puuttui. Al- kuvuodesta 2010 yhtenä arkiaamuna herättyäni ensimmäinen ajatus oli, että tutkimukseni voisi käsitellä ordinaatiokaavoja. Unen sisältöä en muistanut, mutta tunsin välittömästi iloa ajatuk- sesta. Tässä on tie. Tämä ilo on säilynyt koko prosessin ajan väsymyksenkin hetkinä. En ollut aikaisemmissa opinnoissani työskennellyt ordinaatioteeman parissa, mutta virkateologiasta olin aina ollut kiinnostunut. Lähdin töiden ohessa ottamaan asiasta selvää. Pian huomasin, kuinka teema oli hedelmällinen ja Suomessa vähän tutkittu. Esitin ajatukseni prof. Jyrki Knuutilalle, joka innostui välittömästi asiasta. Hän osasi auttaa ratkaisevalla alkuaskeleella eli tutkimustehtävän rajauksessa ja on ollut tukena koko matkan. Kun tehtävä ja dispositio hahmottuivat, otin yhteyttä prof. Miikka Ruokaseen, joka avoimuu- dellaan rohkaisi tutkimussuunnitelman tekemiseen ja dogmatiikan jatko-opiskelijaksi. Luvan jatko-opintoihin sainkin vuoden 2010 lopulla. Prof. Ruokasesta tuli tutkimukseni valvoja. Toi- seksi ohjaajaksi prof. Knuutilan lisäksi nimettiin prof. Risto Saarinen, joka suurella ammatti- taidollaan on ollut apuna tutkimuksen eri vaiheissa. Prof. Ruokasen jäätyä virkavapaalle prof. Pekka Kärkkäinen vei avuliaasti projektin loppuun. Asiantuntevat ja tarkat esitarkastajat dos. Jari Jolkkonen ja dos. Kari Kopperi veivät kommenteillaan tutkimustani eteenpäin.

  • Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion from 1725: a Liturgical Interpretation
    Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion from 1725: A Liturgical Interpretation MARKUS RATHEY When we listen to Johann Sebastian Bach’s vocal works today, we do this most of the time in a concert. Bach’s passions and his B minor Mass, his cantatas and songs are an integral part of our canon of concert music. Nothing can be said against this practice. The passions and the Mass have been a part of the Western concert repertoire since the 1830s, and there may not have been a “Bach Revival” in the nineteenth century (and no editions of Bach’s works for that matter) without Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s concert performance of the St. Matthew Passion in the Berlin Singakademie in 1829.1 However, the original sitz im leben of both large-scaled works like his passions, and his smaller cantatas, is the liturgy. Most of his vocal works were composed for use during services in the churches of Leipzig. The pieces unfold their meaning in the context of the liturgy. They engage in a complex intertextual relationship with the liturgical texts that frame them, and with the musical (and theological) practices of the liturgical year of which they are a part. The following essay will outline the liturgical context of the second version of the St. John Passion (BWV 245a) Bach performed on Good Friday 1725 in Leipzig. The piece is a revision of the familiar version of the passion Bach had composed the previous year. The 1725 version of the passion was performed by the Yale Schola Cantorum in 2006, and was accompanied by several lectures I gave in New Haven and New York City.

  • Martin Luther and the Wittenberg Reformation of Worship
    Today’s “Worship Wars” in light of Martin Luther and the Wittenberg reformation of worship §1 Some scriptural guidance §1.1 Worship practices The Christian liturgy grows out of the practice of temple and synagogue Luke 4.16-21 Acts 2.42 Acts 13.1-3 Acts 13.14b-16a 1 Corinthians 14.40 Use of hymnody Philippians 2.5b-11 1 Timothy 3.16b 1 Timothy 2.11b.13a Revelation—the Great Te Deum §1.2 Offense/edification General Romans 14 1 Corinthians 8 Specific to the church’s worship 1 Corinthians 14.2-3 §1.3 Unity in the Faith Ephesians 4.1-6 §2 Fast forward: What our confessions teach—and a tension Augsburg Confession, Article 24 Our churches are falsely accused of abolishing the mass. For the mass is retained among us and celebrated with the highest reverence. Practically all the ceremonies that have as a rule been used (usitatae) are preserved, with the exception that here and there German canticles are mixed in with the Latin ones. For, chiefly for this reason is there need of the ceremonies, that they might teach the unlearned. And Paul commands that a language understood by the people be used in the Church. (AC 24.1-4, Lat.)1 It is laid upon our people with injustice that they are supposed to have done away with the mass. For it is well-known that the mass, not to speak boastfully, is held with greater devotion and seriousness among us than among our adversaries….Likewise in the public ceremonies of the mass no notable change has occurred except that in some places 1 “Falso accusantur ecclesiae nostrae, quod missam aboleant.

  • Why Do Lutherans Make the Sign of the Cross?
    Worship Formation & Liturgical Resources: Frequently Asked Questions Why do Lutherans make the sign of the cross? The worship staff receives a number of similar inquires on worship-related topics from across the church. These responses should not be considered the final word on the topic, but useful guides that are to be considered in respect to local context with pastoral sensitivity. The response herein may be reproduced for congregational use as long as the web address is cited on each copy. "In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit” or “Blessed be the Holy Trinity, + one God, who forgives all our sin, whose mercy endures forever.” These words begin the orders for Confession and Forgiveness in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. The rubric (directions in red italics) that accompanies these words says: “The assembly stands. All may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.” As this invocation is made, an increasing number of Lutherans trace the sign of the cross over their bodies from forehead to lower chest, then from shoulder to shoulder and back to the heart; and others trace a small cross on their foreheads. The sign of the cross, whether traced over the body or on the forehead, is a sign and remembrance of Baptism. The Use of the Means of Grace, The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s set of priorities for the practices of word and sacrament, says of this gesture: These interpretive signs proclaim the gifts that are given in the promise of God in Baptism…The sign of the cross marks the Christian as united with the Crucified (28A).
