Sacred Time for a Secular World

Some Christians sing, but many don’t. Why do we condense our worship to just four songs and a pastoral prayer today? This Worship Practicum explores “sacred time” as the earliest church understood it and shows student participants how to draw from this tradition to make church worship more meaningful and richer for every Christian.
