Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Book of Common Order: For Use in Church Services and Offices To promote the orderly, reverent, and edifying conduct of Public Worship and other Services of the Church, in keeping with historical standards, is the ruling purpose of the present book. A Common Order in the government of the Church is recognized in every Christian communion; and a Common Order in regular Church Worship and Offices, without rigid uniformity, is correspondingly desirable, in so far as it is practicable. The freedom of the Spirit in fresh spontaneous expressions of devotion must ever be welcomed and conserved. The Forms of Service here following are not intended to restrict the exercise of such freedom. They are meant to be suggestive, to supply in specimens a standard and guide for Ministers, being at the same time corrective of irregular or extravagant effusions and of individual aberrations in the conduct of Church ordinances. This book has been prepared by the Public Worship Committee appointed by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, arid has received the ´general approval´ of the Assembly ´for voluntary use´. Orders for Church Services and Offices may follow either of two different types. One of these is mainly based upon older historical models and materials, hallowed by ancient or continuous use. The other is generally cast in more modern terms of expression, and makes use of more recent compositions, which are at the same time fittingly devotional and dignified. In keeping with this distinction, alternative Services for Public Worship and for several Offices are provided in the present volume. The one or the other may be used as found suitable in different congregations and upon different occasions. We have made a liberal draft upon prayers which are part of the common inheritance of the Christian Church, or which have established their value through widespread use.
