A History of Christian Worship: Ancient Ways, Future Paths
Worship scholar Robert Webber wrote, “Worship proclaims, enacts, and
sings God’s story. Worship is not a program. Nor is worship about
me. Worship is a narrative – God’s narrative of the world from its
beginning to its end.”
For followers of Jesus Christ, worship has spanned over two thousand
years to include a diverse history of sacred practices. The many ways
in which the faithful have preserved and celebrated God’s story is
limited only by the human imagination.
A History of Christian Worship: Ancient Ways, Future Paths is
a six-part series that explores centuries of worship practices, as seen
through the eyes of Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox churches and
discussed by leading voices from a cross-section of the Christian
community. From scripture, sermons and creeds to baptism and the
Eucharist, from art and music to drama and media, from prayer and
contemplation to service and ministry, viewers will discover the
significant people and events that have shaped history and learn how
modern worship practices are rooted in the earliest foundations of the
Christian faith.
The aim of the series is to enlighten viewers on the many commonalities
encountered in Christian worship that transcend time, culture, and
denomination, and to discuss why many churches today are recovering
ancient practices in their contemporary worship.
