Introduction to Christian Worship

3 credits · Graduate School

This course will examine the history, theology, and practices of Christian worship from global and ecumenical perspectives with the goal of preparing students for ministry (broadly defined), including the planning of worship, occasional services, and other rituals. Particular attention will be paid to helping students think critically as practical and pastoral theologians as they design and lead worship in their specific contexts while also being attentive to how justice issues such as race, class, ethnicity, ability, sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation affect and are affected by worship.
