		<description><![CDATA[Todd Hunter’s Giving Church Another Chance is an interesting—and perhaps brilliant—little book. I am sure that this is not everything that Todd Hunter could say on the subjects of church, liturgy and life, but he says just enough to make you want more, which I believe is precisely the point. Todd has a gift of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Again, the Internet Monk has an interesting post in his series on &#8220;Evangelical Liturgy,&#8221; this time on the use (or non-use) of the Apostles&#8217; and Nicene Creeds.   It has never occurred to me that any church would not subscribe to either of these creeds- in fact, I would have said that any church that didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hate to post too much from Michael Spencer, but lately he&#8217;s had a lot of good things to say. He recently has begun a series looking at various forms of liturgy in use in churches we normally think of as non-liturgical.  From #8 in the series: In many evangelical churches, particularly those of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to two churches this morning, one at 9:00 and the other at 11.  One was a typical contemporary evangelical service, not unlike many others I&#8217;ve been to over the years. The other was the Episcopal church I&#8217;ve been attending for several months.  There was a vast difference in style, as one would expect. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a recent sermon (Lutheran): &#8230; we need to recognize that the religious culture of North America is Evangelicalism.  This culture has its roots first in Puritanism, which is basically Calvinistic, and secondarily in the great revival movements of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.  Evangelicalism puts the emphasis on conversion as a personal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find myself in the midst of a quandary.  I have, over the past several months, fallen in love with a church service.  Not a church, mind you, but the service.  As I&#8217;ve mentioned in the past, last December I started attending a local Episcopal church.  After being greatly disappointed with Lutheran (ELCA) services, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a pretty cool video about a growing Lutheran church in Tulsa (yes, Lutherans in Tulsa!). One aspect of liturgical worship I keep coming back to is intentionality.  Many contemporary churches are blown to and fro, if not by &#8220;every wind of doctrine,&#8221; by every faddish worship concept.  It&#8217;s one thing to be &#8220;culturally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am picking up where I left off a couple of weeks ago, talking about liturgical worship.   If you recall, I&#8217;ve gone through the entire Lutheran liturgy from the old &#8220;Red&#8221; 1958 Service Book and Hymnal, interspersed with a few other posts dealing with aspects of liturgical worship.  For those who may stumble across this [...]]]></description>
