Tradition remixed: Translating Anglican worship traditions for the 21st century church.
A workshop to help Christ Church discern the future of our worship, Sunday afternoon December 6.
Thanks to a grant to Christ Church Philadelphia - from the Lilly Foundation through the Calvin Institute of Worship - for exploring new liturgical and musical resources within the Anglican traditions, Christ Church will host an afternoon workshop on Sunday, December 6, culminating in a special Advent liturgy at 5 p.m.
 The workshop will be led by the Rev. Stephanie Spellers, author of Radical Welcome and founder of the emergent church community within Cathedral of St. Paul, Boston, called The Crossing, and by Ed Broms, director of music from the cathedral and a skilled jazz musician. They will focus on musical and liturgical possibilities based on, in the words of Archbishop Rowan Williams, "a mixed economy" of tradition and innovation. Together we'll work through the classic "ordo" of worship, with resources that are interpreted and refreshed.
Registration is now closed, but those interested are welcome to bring their own lunch and participate on a space available basis. Please speak to Susan Richardson.
As always, all are welcome at the 5 p.m. service, regardless of whether they have participated in the workshop. Have your family and friends come join you!
