Common Prayer helps today's diverse church pray together across traditions and denominations. With an ear to the particulars of how various liturgical traditions pray, and using an advisory team of liturgy experts, the authors have created a tapestry of prayer that celebrates the best of each tradition. The book also includes a unique songbook composed of music and classic lyrics to over fifty songs from various traditions, including African spirituals, traditional hymns, Mennonite gathering songs, and Taize chants. Tools for prayer are scattered throughout to aid those who are unfamiliar with liturgy and to deepen the prayer life of those who are familiar with liturgical prayer. Ultimately, Common Prayer makes liturgy dance, taking the best of the old and bringing new life to it with a fresh fingerprint for the contemporary renewal of the church. Churches and individuals who desire a deeper prayer life and those familiar with Shane Claiborne and New Monasticism will enjoy the tools offered in this book as a fresh take on liturgy.

Aesthethica

Brooklyn based Liturgy is Hunter Hunt Hendrix, Greg Fox, Tyler Dusenbury, and Bernard Gann. Aesthethica, their second album and third release, shows the band exploring, in greater depth, themes initially touched on by their critically acclaimed debut album, Renihilation. The band used every instrument, literal or figurative, to produce meaning and intensity, disregarding the genre boundaries of black metal, hardcore and experimental music. On Renihilation, Liturgy made use of simple song structures, and concentrated on sustaining a blindingly high intensity level from start to finish. Aesthethica, finds the band operating at multiple levels and using more varied forms. The music is both elaborately crafted and chaotically performed. Songs often begin in the form of a simple chant or hypnotic abstraction, then evolve into something dense and complex. A constant sensitivity to the states of attention that different musical patterns activate and foster, yields a paradoxical result: the more complex the music, the simpler the message. Cycling through the fundamental modes of being: stasis, chaos, and repetition Aesthethica is a metaphorical exercise in affirmation. Read more...

Album review: Liturgy 'Aesthetica'

16.10.88

Liturgy has carved out an odd niche for itself. The Brooklyn quartet plays a very specialized brand of music — black metal — yet has managed to become largely reviled within that small community. Some say that’s because the band doesn’t strictly adhere to the genre’s classic sound. Others see Liturgy frontman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix as a pretentious brat. But those squabbles are best left to Internet message boards. Liturgy’s new album, “Aesthetica,” is best simply played very loud.

The full-bodied assault within “True Will” and “Glory Bronze” — all bursting rhythms, hyperspeed guitars and incomprehensible, ear-piercing shrieks — sounds mighty sinister on first listen, but the songs soon reveal themselves to be uniquely uplifting. The result is both bone-crushing and spine-tingling. Whether the band members are racing against themselves to create the speediest thrash possible (spoiler alert: it’s a race that drummer Greg Fox always wins) or are settling into thundering, riff-based monsters, there’s a lightness to the extremely heavy proceedings.

Oxford Patristics: Derek Krueger - The Recasting of the Divine ...

by Professor Markus Vinzent

Published in 565, Novella 137 of the Corpus Iuris Civilis, demanded that the anaphora of the Divine Liturgy be recited aloud, “so that the souls of those who listen may be moved to greater compunction and raise up glorification to the Lord God.” Robert Taft notes that Law 137 is the “only Late-Antique source…to show any concern that the people hear, understand, and interiorize the anaphoral prayers,” but in fact the law codified early Byzantine clerics’ expectations about how liturgies...
