Description

This course provides a theological and historical examination of Christian worship and the sacraments as central expressions of the life and faith of the Church. Students will explore the biblical foundations of worship, the development of liturgical practice across Christian traditions, and the theological significance of the sacraments as means of grace. Special attention is given to the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist, as well as the rites associated with marriage, ordination, reconciliation, and anointing of the sick.

Topics include the theology of the church year, the structure and planning of weekly worship, the role of ritual in forming Christian community, and the pastoral responsibilities of ministry leaders in leading congregational worship. Students will also examine ecumenical perspectives on sacramental theology and consider how worship shapes and reflects the identity of the Church in the world.
