3 credit hours
Formerly - STMM 510

This course examines Christian worship and sacramental life in light of its historical and theological development. Although ecumenical in scope, this course is primarily from the reformed Protestant perspective. Special attention is given to the worship life of Protestant, Free Church, and other ecclesial traditions, particularly their corporate celebrations, with an emphasis on Baptism and Communion. Course content and practice introduce students to ecclesial, pastoral, and ethical contexts of liturgy, encouraging the development of a critical worship sense.
