Reformed Liturgical Resources promotes worship which is biblical, God-Centered, historically informed, and which strives for serious and vigorous participation from the people of God. We believe that the pattern of covenant renewal displays the biblical actions of worship.
This site aims to –
- Strengthen local churches and help churchmen to mature in their understanding of Reformed liturgical principles.
- Make Reformed liturgical resources available through a web-site.
- Encourage the use of the Christian Year or church calendar as an aspect of the dominion of Christ over time.
- Promote and host conferences related to worship.
- Raise aesthetic standards of worship, especially in music.
We hope to make a wide array of information available to pastors and students of liturgy. This does not stamp an official imprimatur on these materials.

Update in 2020
What happened to this website? For a few years, I took this site off-line and kept it private. Because of various church controversies, I thought it best to just keep out of the fray for a while. Additionally, I was trying to finish up my Ph.D. in historical theology at the Free University of Amsterdam. Hopefully that will be done in the next year!
I’ve decided to bring this site back into the light, with the hopes that there is enough content here to bless and encourage those who read it. There are posts and sites that are more or less historical artifacts at this point. They originated in a context of church debates and controversies, and their usefulness is probably now limited. I have not gone back through the archives to prune and pull weeds. For now, I’m letting everything go live, until I can come back and provide more shape and structure to this site.
I still believe that there are many liturgical and theological treasures in the Reformed tradition. Spending years researching the Reformation, and its developments in the British Isles and the Americas, has only increased my love of this tradition and my desire to help others discover its riches.
There are many wonderful recent publications that deserve to be mentioned here, and I hope to be able to do that in time.
In the meantime, if anything here encourages you, I thank God for that. If anything provokes you and causes you to doubt the sincerity (or orthodoxy) of any contributing writer, please remember the original context of a post, or a link, and realize that this site is more of a historical marker right now. Many rough edges need to be smoothed, and many updates need to be made. I hope that there is still enough here to edify and inspire in the meantime.
Semper reformanda!

Please tell me more about what you mean by “Encourage the use of the Christian Year or church calendar as an aspect of the dominion of Christ over time.” This sounds exciting!
The question is basically one of “Who will define our calendar?” Should the government and secular holidays be prominent, or should we focus more on the Life of Christ and of heroes of the faith? Is Mother’s Day or Pentecost more important? Is Presidents’ Day or All Saints’ Day more important? As Reformed Catholics, or Protesting Catholics, we believe we should celebrate, at the least, the Evangelical Feast Days, which commemorate major events in the life of Jesus Christ–Christmas, Christ’s Baptism (Epiphany), Easter, Ascension Day, & Pentecost. The early Reformers celebrated these days. It’s an obvious way to remind ourselves that Christ is the ruler of history. In our family, we make a big deal about these feast days, and our kids are growing up looking foward to Pentecost presents, as well as Christmas presents! Of course, we need to work through a lot of issues of how the traditional church year developed, and we don’t want to simply adopt the Roman Catholic (or Orthodox) calendar completely. Still, I think it helps us to change the way we think about time and history, and to focus more on Christ’s Lordship, manifested in time and history.
If we want to encourage the “dominion of Christ over time” how about re-instituting God’s Holy Days (holidays) which, btw, includes Pentecost?
God’s Holy Days/Feasts encompassed all of God’s Plan.
Amen! That’s part of what we’re about!
