Worship practices have changed. One danger is that we lose our view of God as Creator in our urgency to experience the crucified and risen Christ.
Chris Voke, deputy principal at Spurgeon’s, aims to restore the balance. He draws on an analysis of transcripts and liturgies from over 140 services in a wide variety of churches. He finds that God as Creator is often barely mentioned, and ecologial issues are mostly ignored. He proposes that we recover the doctrine of creation in corporate worship, both in theology and in practice.
