As a follow-up to the last post, I just learned that The Society for the Study of Eastern Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism is starting up again. Anyone interested in being on the mailing list should contact Brock Bingaman at Loyola University Chicago: BBINGAM@LUC.EDU

The book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, is among evangelicals almost entirely interpreted as an eschatological text. Authors such as Lindsey and Bloomfield, as well as a multitude of others, are clear examples of this. However, while not rejecting eschatological applications, it is the issue of worship - most [...]
New church added to our “Churches” Page: Reformation Covenant Church of Southern Oregon (Medford, OR - CREC). The liturgy is heavy on singing an chanting, but so is the Bible. It looks challening and demanding, but worship is work. It’s the Lord’s service, after all, where we actively serve the Lord.

Bobby Neal Winters has a good article on ”Worshiping After the First Date” in a recent Touchstone. It’s a balanced introduction to thinking about liturgical maturity.
This Christmas, consider supporting the King’s Meadow Endurance Team. George Grant is an advocate for substantive, classical Reformed liturgy, and they have exciting plans to expand into a full liberal arts college!

“The university is a clear-cut fulcrum with which to move the world. Change the university and you change the world,”
declared Dr. Charles Malik, former [...]
In a 1978 article, James F. White (the noted liturgical scholar, not the Reformed Baptist apologist!) cautions us against reciting the creeds in worship to the exclusion of praying a full eucharistic prayer:
“The eucharistic prayer functioned for centuries as the Church’s chief summary of faith. Beside it a creed was redundant. It was a sign [...]
Trinity Presbyterian Church of Asheville, NC (PCA) has a helpful pastoral letter on why they switched to weekly communion.
A reader wrote in his observations on current liturgical events, and I decided to post part of it here, since it highlights many of the reasons this blog exists:
“I am a convinced Protestant, though I was confirmed in a predominantly Anglo-Catholic communion (Anglican Province in America) last year. My hopes are to return to a more Reformed/Presbyterian liturgical communion sometime [...]
