"To Serve This Present Age": The Future of Worship in the Baptist Church

ABSTRACT

Weaver examines the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on worship in Baptist churches and the new liturgical realities that have profoundly altered worship in irreversible ways. She engages how technological changes alter understandings about church authority in light of the priesthood of all believers. She also envisions active engagement of lay persons, integrating worship with social realities and concerns, and the need for mutual respect among clergy over the next fifty years of liturgical change.
