Agenda (liturgy)

As Agende the book (or books) is referred to in the Protestant churches, in which the fixed and variable parts ( Ordinary and Proper of ) the regular worship and the official acts ( Kasualien ) are listed. So a liturgy liturgy contains models that represents the historically developed service process and its design variants that after each Sunday and holiday oriented in the church year prayers and texts.

As a church law, the liturgy for Protestant liturgists is authentic.

Following the text is a liturgy (from the Latin agere ) what to do. In fact, a liturgy describes what each of the acclaimed worship liturgist ( and the community) to do ( stand up, sit, walk, stand, pray, sing ); they can therefore be regarded as a behavior or action statement. This is visible in terms of liturgists, especially in the liturgy recorded in the headings that describe what the liturgist has to do at this very place of worship. What is the liturgy for the liturgist, the hymnal for the church. The liturgy belongs to the group of liturgical books.

The Catholic liturgy is the counterpart to the Missal, which is referred to in the Old Catholic Church as a Eucharist Book ( for other denominations: see list of liturgical books ).

The liturgy I EKU is based, as the VELKD, mainly due to the preparatory work of the Lutheran Liturgical Conference and other institutions, especially on the 1948 published Kirchenagende I, which was a private work of Peter Brunner, Joachim Beckmann and others. Thus, a first draft could be presented as early as 1953. In 1959, she was adopted and published by a testing phase eventually.

The Evangelical Worship Book of VELKD and EKU

History of its formation

Shortly after the introduction of the last and then still separate agendas Works by VELKD and EKU ( agendas I from 1955 or 1959) work has begun on a new Agendwerk in the Lutheran Liturgical Conference in Germany by 1965 " principles for further work on the liturgy " have been decided. Influence on this development process also practiced since about 1960 acclaimed " worship in a new form ", whose liturgies and texts widely published and were finally known the Dortmund Church Congress in 1963 to a wider community public. Of the church days with there critically acclaimed experimental liturgies else pulses A first important result of the work of the liturgy went out into the celebration of community worship, and not least on the agenda development, such as through the celebration of Holy Communion at the Church Congress in Nuremberg 1979. represents the so-called structure paper of 1974, which was an attempt to meet the challenge posed by the " worship in a new form ". Thus, the memorandum Gathered church was built. Structure and elements of worship. On the reform of worship and liturgy that ushered in a second phase of reform agendas. Two consultations in 1980 between representatives of the VELKD and EKU showed that the development of a common liturgy was sensible and feasible. Already in 1981, a blueprint for the design of a renewed liturgy was presented. In 1990, the Renewed Liturgy was presented as a draft for discussion. Subsequently, the comments were worked on the preliminary draft and changed again crucial in this process, the preliminary draft with a newly assembled group. On 1 Advent 1999, the Evangelical Worship Book was introduced as a compulsory and common liturgy for the member churches of VELKD and EKU.

Introduction to the design and construction of the Protestant worship book

The Protestant worship book is divided (currently) in two volumes. Firstly, the original work (main station) and the supplementary volume.

The service book is based on the " principle of the fixed base structure in variable formation ", which should guide a self-responsible use of the liturgy.

Firstly, two basic forms of worship introduced, based on which individual liturgies can be made:

Basic form I (worship with sermon and Holy Communion )
Fundamental form II ( Sermon worship [ with Holy Communion ] )

The two basic forms carry on the traditions of the two commonly used since the Reformation forms of worship on the one hand, the structure linked to Latin Mass basic form I, the so-called measurement type as a service with sermon and Holy Communion, on the other hand CONTINUED to the arisen since the late Middle Ages sermon worship fundamental form II as preaching service ( with Holy Communion ).

Furthermore, forms are available for:

The celebration of the baptism in the church service,
Worship with a small number of participants, Table Supper,
Abbreviated forms of worship with and without the Lord's Supper

Family worship,
Celebration of the Lord's Supper,
Service with richer forms of interaction.

The majority of the service book form changing according to the church year and occasion pieces ( proprium ), in which the readings and sermon texts, of the week award, the week song, the entrance psalm, the daily prayer, the prayer of thanksgiving and possibly the Präfationsgebet and Hallelujavers of every Sundays and feast day are fixed and a text collection in which more prayers and prayer calls as well as opportunities for other elements of the service (eg, greeting) listed.

The supplementary volume provides general information on service design, more formations to the basic forms and instructions for the open service design, additions to the text collection, a guide to Liturgical behavior of the pastor during the service as well as further information about liturgy and liturgical chants.

Criteria for service design

During the service book the following criteria for understanding and design of worship are called. The first five criteria are derived from the Renewed Liturgy, criterion six and seven of the agreement on the Renewed Liturgy have been included in the subsequent process.

The Union of Evangelical Churches agendas work

With the dissolution of EKU and the founding of the TOB, and after the introduction of common worship book of VELKD and EKU the Liturgical Committee of the ICE began to revise the rest of agendas for Kasualien. Currently, the following parts have been published, in almost all national churches, unless they are member churches of the ICE, (mainly the older part of the agendas EKU ) replace the older agendas:

Baptismal Register (2000)
Confirmation (2001), is identical to Agende III, Part 6 VELKD
Funeral (2004)
Wedding Ceremony (2006)

Agendas of other Protestant state churches

Since the Protestant churches of Baden, Hesse and Nassau, Hesse Electorate - Waldeck, Lippe, Oldenburg, Wurtemberg and the Palatinate at the time of the introduction of Protestant worship book neither member churches of the VELKD still the EKU were their own agendas works are in them. However, this does not rule out the similar or even identical service models are as recorded in the service book in the recent editions of this agenda, for example in Baden, Hesse Electorate - Waldeck and the Palatinate.

The Reformed Liturgy

History

The Reformed Liturgy is the common worship book of Reformed churches in Germany. It was devised by the Alliance of Reformed Churches, 1999.

The focus of the reformed worship is the sermon. In addition to the reformed church preaching the Reformed liturgy but also included those regarded as typical Lutheran service type, measuring form, as a possible form of worship. In addition, it offers liturgical forms for Kasualien and official acts.

Order of service according to the Reformed Liturgy

The Reformed liturgy offers three forms of worship, which allow design variations.

The first form contains the Reformed congregations and churches in Germany widely available form:

The second form is used in the Evangelical Church Altreformierten, and the third form follows the Uniate church tradition. These last two forms take on elements of the measurement form.

Each service type can be connected to a Lord's Supper, in the Reformed liturgy two basic forms A ( with communion meditation ) and B (after the measurement form) provides each with two variants.
