Church liturgy explanations
I am interested in the WELS Church liturgy, its origins and history, and an explanation of the different orders of worship. I had hoped the People's Bible Teachings series would have published the intended title, "Christian Worship." I anticipate it will address my interest as well as a discussion of contemporary worship, choice of hymns, etc. In the meantime, are there any other resources available?
Christian Worship: Manual provides the information you are seeking. It is available from Northwestern Publishing House.
As a new hymnal is scheduled for release this Advent season, you may be interested in the accompanying resources. You can find a list of those resources here.
