One of America's most prominent worship leaders allows us to go on a liturgical journey with him.

Towards Liturgies that Reconcile by Scott Haldeman Pdf

Towards Liturgies that Reconcile reflects upon Christian worship as it is shaped, and mis-shaped, by human prejudice, specifically by racism. African Americans and European Americans have lived together for 400 years on the continent of North America, but they have done so as slave and master, outsider and insider, oppressed and oppressor. Scott Haldeman traces the development of Protestant worship among whites and blacks, showing that the following exist in tension: African American and European American Protestant liturgical traditions are both interdependent and distinct; and that multicultural communities must both understand and celebrate the uniqueness of various member groups while also accepting the risk and possibility of praying themselves into an integrated body, one new culture.

Praising in Black and White by Brenda Eatman Aghahowa Pdf

"Praising in Black and White presents an informational, analytical discussion of worship styles by comparing two African American congregations - one mainline, with a formal, European worship style, the other Pentecostal, with a charismatic worship style. Aghahowa provides a fascinating study of the differences and similarities of two approaches to worship, demonstrating how an appreciation of these styles might lead us to a deeper and more rewarding church experience." "The book includes survey instruments and other tools that can serve as a basis for dialogue. Study questions are included to encourage group discussion."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

A Precious Fountain by Mary E. McGann Pdf

A Precious Fountain is a work of liturgical ethnography that probes the rich liturgical life of one worshiping community whose roots and practices are at once Black and Catholic, using music as a primary lens through which to explore the community's liturgy and embodied theology. Our Lady of Lourdes community in San Francisco is part of a larger event in the American church: the emergence of a new paradigm of Catholic worship, one that is "authentically Black and truly Catholic." Mary E. McGann, RSCJ, describes how the music worship of Our Lady of Lourdes in San Francisco not only enriches that community but also is an example of how a theology of music is practiced in that parish. She offers this new genre of liturgical literature that brings to light how God's Spirit is working in the churches through the idioms, perceptions, and insights of specific ethno-cultural communities in this time of massive cultural change and globalization. Mary E. McGann, RSCJ, PhD, is assistant professor of liturgy and music at the Franciscan School of Theology at Berkeley. She is the author of Exploring Music as Worship and Theology and co-author with Edward Foley, Capuchin, of Music in the Eucharistic Prayer published by Liturgical Press.
