Transitions in Worship - eBook [ePub]
Moving from Traditional to Contemporary
"What are we doing in our worship? Has loyalty to one pattern or style of worship blinded the church to the missional task of worship to share the good news?" asks the author in the Introduction to this book.
In Transitions in Worship, Andy Langford surveys where worship has been, where it is now, and where it might be going, while also providing meaningful advice and help for moving worship from predictable and rote to enriching and engaging. Congregations across North America face a profoundly unchristian culture. Yet, this culture still seeks a foundation that the church alone can provide. Written for pastors, musicians, and other worship leaders, Transitions in Worship provides a clear blueprint for laying a worship base that is relevant and responsive to the people of today.
