ENDNOTES1. While the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) was a partner in much of the work of the Inter-Lutheran Commission on Worship (ILCW), which developed the LBW, the LCMS withdrew from the process prior to finalizing proposals and the subsequent publication of the LBW. The American Lutheran Church (ALC), the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC) merged to form the ELCA in 1988. It could be argued that the LBW was a significant part of the "glue" that has held the predecessor church bodies together in what is still a relatively new communion. 2. New Hymns and Songs (RW5) has a companion pew edition entitled Renewing Worship Songbook. 3. Episcopal Church USA, Moravian Church, Presbyterian Church USA, Reformed Church in America, United Church of Christ. 4. Article 7, in The Book of Concord, ed. Timothy J. Wengert and Robert Kolb, transl. Charles Arand (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2000), 42. 5. It is important to note that perspectives "at the table" must include the witness of Scripture and of this church's confessional heritage. The Rev. Michael Burk, Ph. D., is Director for Worship in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. In addition to overseeing the work of the ELCA worship staff, he travels extensively to represent the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on matters related to worship. Dr. Burk is a graduate of Wartburg College (B. A.), Wartburg Theological Seminary (M. Div.) and the University of Iowa (M. A. and Ph. D.). In 2002, he was recognized at the University of Iowa as the Albert E. Stone Distinguished Alumnus in American Studies. |
