Helping the church to think, pray, and live the faith
Thinking, praying, and living the faith is at the core of the ministry of the Office of Theology and Worship. Watch this video to learn more about how this ancient Christian adage shapes our work.
Sanctify Them in the Truth
Some rejoice, others lament. There has been widespread reaction the passage of Amendment 10A which changes the language of our ordination standards in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The office of Theology and Worship has produced an interpretive piece that considers the theological and ecclesial issues raised by this new constitutional language, on the gifts and requirements for ordained service.
Invitation to the Word
Invitation to the Word is just that — an invitation to Jesus Christ, the living Word, through scripture. It is an invitation for congregations, communities, small groups and individuals to be immersed in the Spirit through the Word. It is an invitation to five simple practices that can form us into Scripture-shaped communities, congregations and individuals. It is an invitation to read, pray, study, remember and live Scripture.

Charles, the TPLing the Faith video is well-done. Thanks for taking the time to produce it for the church. On the other hand, the "Sanctify Them in the Truth" document that is so careful not to step on anyone's toes that it ends up giving little practical guidance -- kind of like the motto "Theology matters." By the way, there is a verb missing in the last sentence of the opening section, paralleling the verb "raised" -- just before the asterisks on the opening page. Thanks for all your efforts to help the church.
