T structure of the Prayer of the Day, in the form of the Latin mediaeval Collect or the more extended Lutheran Collect, has been continually discussed in Norway since the 1960s. In the 1977 liturgy, the two collect forms were combined, a solution that has perpetuated the discussion. In the new 2011 liturgy, the Prayer of the Day was made optional, giving way to a new, compulsory Gathering Prayer. In view of the Prayer’s historical position, I shall examine the mechanisms underlying this change, and its ecumenical implications. Based on this examination, I shall consider the importance of the Prayer of the Day, and why it is still essential for worship.

F Church meets on Sunday evenings in downtown Los Angeles at a high-end nightclub. It is a church plant founded by The House (formerly Calvary Temple), a mega church in Modesto, California that is associated with the Assemblies of God, a branch of the Pentecostal tradition. The Fearless congregation is multi-ethnic and consists mostly of people under the age of thirtyfive. LA Weekly music writer Katie bain states that during a worship service at Fearless, the congregation “is losing it...People are singing and yelling, dancing with their palms raised and their eyes closed. Women crouch near the stage with their foreheads pressed against the dance floor.”1 The church members express their faith through embodied motions that surprise even a veteran music reporter, who chooses to describe the worship service using language traditionally reserved for psychedelic drug experiences.

T renewal of the liturgy that took shape in the last century and that is attributed mainly to the Second Vatican Council, where it received its formal foundation, was in fact a long time coming. Opinions differ regarding where exactly the renewal’s first beginnings can be traced. There had long been a liturgical movement or liturgical movements, but the intention was not always liturgical innovation; sometimes the aim was liturgical restoration. Depending on one’s perspective, the beginnings can be can be traced to Lambert beauduin (1873-1960) of the Abbey of Mont César in Louvain at the beginning of the twentieth century, or to Prosper Guéranger (18051875), who restored benedictine monastic life in France from the abbey of Solesmes.1

T Church of Sweden, in comparison with many churches, is extraordinary in its long-standing collection of data on “church service” statistics – a compilation that can serve as the basis for valuable research. What begs to be questioned, however, is the relatively one-sided manner in which these church service statistics have been interpreted since the 1960s; more specifically, the type of research methodology which usually has served as the basis for the analysis. Researchers in sociology of religion have dominated as interpreters of worship statistics and strategies with the effect that the underlying theories of the sociology of religion directly or indirectly may have influenced the church’s worship and, probably, by extension, the prevailing understandings of liturgy and church in the Church of Sweden today.

A the eucharist is the summit of Christian worship, most churches in China1 lack a comprehensive understanding of eucharistic theology. Many pastors, for instance, simply celebrate the eucharist according to the tradition of their local churches, but with little knowledge of the meaning of the eucharistic rite. Moreover, preaching receives a greater emphasis than the celebration of holy communion. Chinese churches also seem to lack an understanding that the eucharist is “the sacrament of sacraments” and the summit in Christian worship. Such churches could deepen their understanding of eucharistic theology by asking: What does it mean to share one bread and one cup in Christ at the table? Why do we need to celebrate the Lord’s supper? What happens at the table? As Christianity continues to develop in China, some pastors and theologians, however, realize that it is important to develop the meaning of the eucharist in worship. How do we achieve a richer meaning of the eucharist? And, Is there any eucharistic heritage that we can rediscover from the broader, wider ecumenical tradition?
