Leader: The Reverend Dr. Gordon W. Lathrop, Professor of Liturgy Emeritus, The Lutheran Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
What does the New Testament -- and especially its four Gospel books -- say about Christian liturgy? New Testament studies are looking at this question again with surprising results. And what happens when the Gospels are read in the liturgical assembly? This has long been a question of interest to liturgical studies, but it can be approached again with fresh insight. This program will consider the Gospels and Christian liturgy from both points of view. Sponsored by the Clergy Day Planning Committee.
