Dienst am Wort: Gottesdienste mit Psalmmeditationen I

Viac o knihe

Klaus von Mering offers a collection of intercessions for pastors, covering the ecclesiastical year from Advent to Pentecost. Aimed at revitalizing the power of communal prayer in worship, he addresses the challenges faced by many pastors who, overwhelmed by their professional demands, struggle to prepare meaningful liturgies beyond their sermons. This often results in hastily assembled elements, leaving congregations overwhelmed by lengthy monologues. Consequently, intercessory prayers have become shorter and less substantive. Von Mering's prayers are crafted in a vivid, relatable language that encourages active listening and participation. They present a diverse array of prayer calls, often incorporating musical elements to restore a meditative quality to worship. This approach allows individuals to reflect on their personal concerns while engaging in collective prayer. An extensive index and numerous references enable users to customize intercessory prayers that complement the sermon’s theme or the service’s tone, fostering a deeper connection to the worship experience.
