Subject: Why worship on resurrection day? |
Bible Note: Thank you, Emmaus... Those are very interesting! There are some interesting variations from the Greek Orthodox standpoint at http://www.goarch.org/en/ourfaith/articles/article7118.asp (I'm still trying to figure out the distinctives between Western, Eastern, and African Church theologies and traditions.) The Lutheran Missouri Synod and German Lutheran Churches also have some very scholarly and up to date discussions of the Liturgical Calendar. They have some fascinating discussions of the use of color for each day of the year. In recent years, some of the Presbyterian's have been "rediscovering" the Liturgical Calendar. Its interesting reading their own discussions on the matter. I wonder what Thomas Cranmer made of all this as he worked through it from the Anglican perspective? This is all pretty high-church for this old Baptist, but... its interesting to try to discern the intent of the first millennial believers who started putting this all together. Thanks again... and Merry Christmas! |
