Making Sense of the Liturgy – Part 4
Picking Back up with the Liturgy. As I have said previously, "Our Liturgy, that is, our service of Holy Eucharist, has two major parts: (1) The Liturgy of the Word; and (2) the Great Thanksgiving."

Last week I began a discussion of our primary liturgy, that is, The Holy Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion and the Lord's Supper. I indicated that it is a sacrament and mentioned that sacraments are outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace. I had intended to continue discussing the Holy...

Building Blocks. If we are going to begin to make sense of The Liturgy – using that term in reference to what we most often called "the Holy Eucharist" – then, we have to understand some basics first. So, let's do that now.

Why Do You Guys Do That in Your Church? A good number of us at Anglican Church of the Resurrection are either "cradle Anglicans"or are from other liturgical church traditions. People ask us why we do certain things in our service or what certain other things stand for in our worship. Often, we have been around so long, that we don't remember enough to give intelligent...

Definition. The Oxford American Dictionary, Second Edition, defines the word "epiphany" in part as "a moment of sudden revelation or insight." The word originates in the Greek, meaning "reveal," and comes to us via Latin and French. For example, the moment in which one comes to see the reality of who Jesus is could be called an epiphany.

The "Thirteenth" Spiritual Discipline: The Discipline of Liturgy
Remember? The Purpose of the Disciplines?
As I wrote at the beginning of this series on the Disciplines: "Of course only God can make a seed grow or change a heart. But, if you're looking for a change of heart the Disciplines are an effective and purposeful way of presenting yourself before the Throne of Grace...

The Eleventh Spiritual Discipline: The Discipline of Guidance
Corporate Guidance. Much has been written about spiritual guidance of the individual. The corporate aspect of guidance has been neglected. God led the people of Israel out of bondage as a body. The prophets brought the word of God to the people. Bible people decided as a people to live under...

What is Worship. “To worship is to get caught up in the acknowledgment of God,” said Father Duane Thibeau. To worship is to touch reality, to break into the Shekinah of God. Worship is the human response to the divine initiative. Forms, rituals, and liturgies do not produce worship. They are tools available to us to enhance our worship.
