episode 50: Christine Longhurst: will worship “get back to normal”?

Professor of Music and Worship, Dr. Christine Longhurst is our interview this week. However, Cody and Craig hadn’t talked for along time and had a lot of catching up to do. After a few minutes of us gabbing, if you want to hear some real wisdom, forward to 1:24 into the episode and listen to Christine Longhurst discuss her research, Worship in a Time of Pandemic: A Survey of Congregational Practices.

We talk about her mid-pandemic research on the different ways congregations were responding at the time. Of particular interest was the section of the study which contemplated what, if any, effects or learnings churches had encountered would be carried on following the resumption of traditional worship. Would things actually “get back to normal”?

You can read Christine Longhurst’s study by going to her worship resources blog. While, there, look around at the great selection of resources she has developed for liturgical and lectionary-based worship.
