Great discussions last week with our DMin students in Critical Issues in Worship Ministry, and this book provided us with a helpful framework for navigating various doctrines and issues.

Wrapping up our Doctrine of Worship intensive course today with our PhD students. Great discussion all week, and I’m reminded again of how much I enjoy discussing these two books in particular.

Merry Christmas from the Welches!
