ICYMI: Advent–A New Beginning for Those Seeking God and Community

In this blog post of Forming Lutherans, Dr. Rhoda Schuler, posts a video interview with Rev. Dr. Dien Taylor who explains how one may mark the beginning of the ritual formation of the catechumenate at Advent, the beginning of the church’s liturgical calendar. Dr. Taylor is a pastor at Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Bronx, one of the congregations that collaborated in the joint project on catechesis and formation led by Dr. Kent Burreson (Concordia Seminary, St. Louis), and Dr. Rhoda Schuler (Concordia University, St. Paul).

At their website you can explore earlier posts on the “Ritual Path” of the catechumenate.
