#liturgical — Public Fediverse posts

"Most #Jewish #Americans who travel on heritage trips tend to focus on visiting #Israel or Eastern #Europe. But what if you didn’t have to cross an ocean to explore the richness of different Jewish #diasporic traditions?

#NewYorkCity is home to the largest Jewish population in the #UnitedStates, a living mosaic of languages, customs, histories, and religious practices shaped by communities from around the world. Wanting to immerse myself in just one corner of that cultural treasure trove, I set out to visit five #synagogues over the course of three days, each offering a window into different versions of Jewish life.

From distinct #liturgical traditions to unique architectural styles and communal histories, each #synagogue felt like stepping into another time and place. If you’re looking to transport yourself through geography, history, and rituals, think about visiting these five synagogues."

Some #theological hills I am willing to die on:
1) The plenary inspiration of #scripture
2) At bare minimum, adherence to the #doctrines proclaimed by the first four Councils of the undivided #church must be upheld.
3) The #eucharist / #lordssupper ought to be celebrated *weekly*.
4) The #eucharist / #lordssupper , while symbolic, is not merely symbolic but also a true/real encounter/communion with Jesus.
5) #Baptism *must* be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
6) Baptism is #regenerative
7) #Liturgical #worship is essential because the #bible itself reveals the Church’s worship as liturgical.
8) The #unity of the Church is not merely a spiritual reality (i.e. invisible), but a reality that ought to be visible for all the world to see.
9) Except in the cases of #heresy or wholesale unrepentant #sin within a portion of the Church, rending the Church’s unity is sinful. (So, disagreements over adiaphora are not worthy of division -- no matter how much one love's their pet theological theory)
10) All #christians must pray for and actively work towards and for the reunification of the Church.

Why should those who are #Reformed & #evangelical insist on the importance of #liturgical #worship ?

Because:
1) Worship is always presented as liturgical in the #Bible
2) Liturgical worship is the historic/universal form of the Church’s worship.
3) Liturgical worship is #sacramental - it presents the Gospel not only via the word, but also through the #sacraments ordained by God - and as such it is more faithfully biblical.
4) ALL the magisterial reformers worshipped liturgically.
5) Biblically shaped liturgy is missionally oriented - it shapes the worshipper for/towards #mission .
6) Liturgy is formative of “sticky” #faith : a) because it engages a person’s whole being, it tends to reinforce faith wholistically (not merely intellectually), b) because it is is sacramental the person TANGIBLY encounters God’s #grace , c) because historic liturgy is robustly biblical it soaks the person in Scripture, and d) because it is patterned/repetitive it becomes engrained.
