1 MC/EM 668 The Practice of Worship: Advanced Studies in Worship Planning, Leading and Congregational Formation Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Spring 2017 Rev. Emmett G. Price III, Ph.D. Office: 349 Academic Center Phone: Office Hours: Tuesdays 10:00 AM 12:00 PM and by appointment Course Description This course is designed to challenge students to envision, plan, staff and lead a variety of worship experiences with special attention focused on congregational formation. Students will explore worship through biblical analysis and theological reflection while also engaging in conversations on the role and function of the church and culture relative to worship. Students will further be tasked to compose various elements used within communal worship such as Call to Worship, Invocation, Doxology, Benediction and more. Students will also be assigned to select appropriate repertoire for the pairing of liturgical artistic expression with sermonic topics/ themes/ series. When possible, students will actually incorporate their work into the spiritual life of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary through the weekly chapel program. Course Textbooks Dawn, Marva J.

2 Course Objectives The student who successfully completes this course should be able: 1. To experience the application of the vital importance of a theological approach to worship. 2. To develop a working application of developing, staffing and leading worship in a multitude of settings and seasons. 3. To effectively put into practice what has been learned through reading, prayer and discernment. 4. To have a deeper appreciation for theology as it relates to preparation for ministry in the context of the local church, the global church, and the broader contemporary culture. Course Requirements Assigned Readings assigned readings are prerequisite for each lecture. Although not all of the reading will be covered in the lecture, our sessions will be based on the fact that students have already accomplished the assigned reading. Writing Assignments four writing assignments are mandatory to the success of the course. All papers will be submitted on time using 12 pt. font (Times New Roman) with 1 inch margins, double space and free of any glaring grammatical spelling errors. All papers will be 2-pages (minimum, not maximum). Personal Worship Reflection what is your regular personal worship regimen or protocol? Secondly, as a result of this course (to date) how has that regimen or protocol changed? Has anything shifted, intensified or diminished? Compose a 5-page (minimum, not maximum) essay/ personal log on your personal growth as a result of assigned readings, lectures, conversations and fellowship throughout your engagement with this course. This paper is due in class on April 20, Group Project students will self-assemble into groups of 2 or more in order to engage in the development of a congregational curriculum on Worship for a local parish (either real or fictional). Students will work together to diagnosis the core challenges; assess the potential learning objectives; and engage in developing a path towards effective worship. Each group will give a formal presentation during the final two days of the class and will compose a paper that shares the behind the scenes of their process of engagement with each other that might include personal narratives of challenge, learning and perhaps even moments of worship (personal and/ or within the group). The paper can take any shape but must be a minimum of 10 pages (inclusive of title page, bibliography, etc.). Tuesday Chapel Presentation Don t worry, you are going to love it!!! J Warning on Plagiarism: Helpful guidelines on plagiarism can be found here: This document has the official recognition of the Gordon-Conwell faculty and provides very helpful tools to guide you as you prepare for your assignments. If a student is caught plagiarizing, the student will receive the consequences of this act according to the process established by the seminary. 2

The grades assigned will represent the instructor s interpretation of the following standard: A = Outstanding mastery of the subject excellence is evident in preparation and participation in class sessions; unusual ability to retain, analyze and synthesize the material; a positive attitude; consistent productive contributions both within and beyond the classroom. B = Superior mastery of the subject sincere effort in preparation and participation in class sessions; mastery of the essential aspects of the material; a positive attitude; mostly consistent in making productive contributions both within and beyond the classroom.
