Bible Note: Veryprecious First “Sspin” is a user Id of the person that asked the original question. Liturgical by definition is using a liturgy. Liturgy is merely a system of worship. Many times liturgy is used to refer to the Book of Common Prayer used in many churches. While the Book of Common Pray is a liturgy it is not in itself the definition. A liturgy is any form of worship that has become standard within the church whether formalized by documenting (such as the Book of Common Prayer) or just done out of habit. Many churches consider themselves to be non liturgical in that they follow no written form of worship however they are still very liturgical in that they always do the same things at the same place in worship from one service to another. I attended a very anti liturgical church that practiced this. They always opened service with 3 praise songs (choruses) 3 worship songs (choruses), spoke a prayer, took the offering, did special music (solo or choir), preached a sermon, had altar time and gave a benediction. That was a liturgy, therefore they were liturgical. Many believe to be liturgical you must preach a canned sermon and say canned prayers and nothing could be further from the truth. I trust this will clear up your confusion. Be blessed and be a blessing EdB |
