Preparing to Embark

About the Journey It is often said that the Lutheran Church is a “singing church.” Singing by the gathered people of God, while not unique to Lutherans, is a hallmark of who we are. Lutherans have a rich tradition of the visual arts, as well. In a Lutheran understanding, both of these artistic forms can rightly be used to communicate the word of God and, therefore, when joined together, might be a rich way of commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation in 2017. However, music and visual art did not begin in sixteenth-century Germany, nor did it end there. These art forms are lively and ever-evolving. Inspired by the same Holy Spirit, we do well, therefore, to integrate music and art from many times, places, and peoples to fully observe this forthcoming anniversary. Participants at the 2015 Worship Jubilee, “Called to Be a Living Voice,” gathered on a Wednesday evening in July at the majestic Peachtree Road United Methodist Church, Atlanta, to experience one manifestation of this journey—not a chronological or linear journey—but, rather, a journey exploring some of the themes of the Reformation: How do we gather as the church? For what do we give thanks and for what do we repent? Because of

reconciliation, how do we rejoice? How is God calling us into the future? At that event, songs and art were diverse as the church itself, and included selections from:

chorales of European origin such as A Mighty Fortress and Built on a Rock;

songs from nineteenth-century English and American traditions such as Amazing Grace;

contemporary hymns and band-led songs such as Gather Us In, Give Us Clean Hands, and O Blessed Spring;

plainsong such as Ubi caritas et amor; African songs such as Gracious Spirit, Heed Our Pleading, and

African American spirituals such as I Will Rejoice; songs from Central and South America such as Mirad cuán

bueno; and songs from Asia such as Come Now, O Prince of Peace. !

6

While these diverse songs were led by an equally diverse team of musicians, everyone joined in singing all the songs together as a church. Equally diverse were visual arts used to accompany the singing, from third-century wall painting to twenty-first-century watercolor. Participants in this journey also paused for moments to hear spoken reflections that included excerpts of writings from throughout the centuries.

Adapting the Journey The community that traveled through the first version of The Church’s Journey in Art and Song had been together for only a few days, yet represented worshiping communities from across the whole church with all their different musical vocabularies, resources, histories, and pieties. The planners also knew that many of the participants were members of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians (ALCM) and, accordingly, approached their task with consideration of context—of time, of place, of the gathered assembly’s ability. But like anyone who studies a map or guidebook, decisions about what to do and how to get there will vary according to interest, experience, and ability. Anyone who plans to adapt or recreate this journey during the 2017 anniversary year may want to use the same songs, art, and commentary as used in Atlanta. Others may want to customize the program for their particular context.

Perhaps, some will want to add additional parts for choirs, brass, or other instruments. Others may want to simplify for use with more modest musical resources. Some may want to have the reflections spoken by a live person, while others may opt use the pre-recorded video clips provided. Some may choose to substitute different hymns or songs from those sung in Atlanta. Some may use the artwork files as they are presented, even when substitute songs are sung. Some may choose to not use artwork at all or to use local art instead. Some may add other forms of art, such as dance. The possibilities are plentiful!

Using This Planning Guide

To facilitate the planning of The Church’s Journey in Art and Song in the diversity of local contexts, planners for the Atlanta event assembled this Planning Guide. Growing out of the Atlanta event, this guidebook and accompanying website1 include several items that will eventually appear in the Reformation 500 Sourcebook, including: !

Church’s Journey, or copy-paste this URL: http://www.elca.org/en/Our-Work/Congregations-and-Synods/Worship/Worship-Jubilee.

the complete order of songs with the stanzas sung; for ELCA congregations, graphic (TIF) files for the songs not

in Evangelical Lutheran Worship or at http://sundaysandseasons.com, and for those songs for which selected stanzas were sung;

short commentaries about how musicians might lead the singing in ways suited to the musical style;

a link to the archived live-stream of the Atlanta event, which can be used to experience the various musical styles;

an extensive compilation of references to alternative songs, beyond those used in Atlanta, that relate to the journey’s main themes;

source information for related instrumental parts, concertato or stanza settings, and similar musical enrichments;

a link to video recordings of the Atlanta reflections as read by

four different voices; the texts of these reflections if a “live” reading is desired;

links to the electronic files containing the artwork that

accompanied the singing;

and, finally, information on how to obtain permission for local

use of these songs and artwork. Whether local planners craft an event similar to the one presented during “Called to Be a Living Voice,” or whether they use alternate songs, differing instrumentation, artwork, and commentary, it is hoped that these resources provide a foundation for commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation through assembly singing and visual art that is grounded in our tradition, expresses the church broadly, is honest, and is always looking forward. Blessings on your journey! !

Maps for the Journey A complete journey through the church’s full treasury of art and song would no doubt take a lifetime! To organize the festival of art and song presented in Atlanta, themes were developed in response to central questions of the “Called to Be a Living Voice” gathering:

The Spirit gathers the church around word and sacrament. God hears our cries for mercy and pours out abundant grace. The Spirit leads us into Christ’s future with glad and generous hearts.

Or, another way of saying it:

How do we gather as the church? For what do we give thanks and for what do we repent? Because of reconciliation, how do we rejoice? How is God calling us into the future?

The version of this journey presented in Atlanta followed one pathway through these themes, the movement through art and song punctuated with moments for rest and reflection:

The Spirit gathers the church … Jesu, tawa pano Mirad cuán bueno Gather Us In Built on a Rock Welcome Reflection 1 … around word and sacrament. O Blessed Spring Taste and See A Mighty Fortress Reflection 2 God hears our cries for mercy … Come Now, O Prince of Peace Give Us Clean Hands I Will Rejoice Reflection 3 !

11

… and pours out abundant grace. Amazing Grace Reflection 4 The Spirit leads us into Christ’s future … The Church Tú diste a Israel Ubi caritas Closing prayer … with glad and generous hearts. Now Thank We All Our God Gracious Spirit, Heed Our Pleading

Of course, many different pathways may be taken through these themes, with art and song selections speaking to a local heritage, musical strengths, or mission in the local community. What follows across the next few pages (12–19) are a number of “maps” containing possible songs to sing along this journey.

Songs sung in Atlanta appear in boxes connected by dotted lines; brainstorming ideas for alternate songs and other leadership ideas surround them. Like the process of writing a sermon or planning music for worship, many ideas are suggested yet need to be saved for later. What’s shown on these maps is inspired by an observation made by writer Anne Lamott, that the first draft for any plan “is the child’s draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it and that you can shape it later.”2 As with any map, one can choose different paths or go visit other “sights and sounds” along the way. The options for assembly song and visual art are neither intended to be prescriptive nor exhaustive. Rather, it is hoped that they offer entry points for creative imaginings of this journey that speak to a diversity of local contexts. Have fun with your planning: enjoy the spirit of adventure and exploration through all of the possibilities! !

It could be led or introduced by children, perhaps accompanied by handbells playing the tonic (D) and fifth (A), either in a regular rhythmic pattern or as a drone using the “singing bell” technique. The unison conclusion in D major allows for easy pivot to another D major selection from this part of the journey such as Gather Us In or O Holy Spirit, Enter In.

Percussion instruments such as finger cymbals or windchimes can help demarcate the phrases, and chordal accompaniment can be light and spare. Melodic doubling by a woodwind instrument would also be effective.8 An introductory organ setting is listed on the following page:

Of the Glorious Body Tune and Source Pange lingua LBW 120 (E-phrygian) Acknowledgments Text: Thomas Aquinas, 1227–1274. Music: Plainsong, Mode III, Vatican collection, arr. Lutheran Book of Worship, © 1978 Lutheran Book of Worship, admin. Augsburg Fortress. Scripture References Matthew 26:26–29 Mark 14:22–25 Luke 22:14–19 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 Leadership Helps The body of music that organists know today as chorale preludes has its early roots in the so-called alternatim style wherein keyboardists would improvise their own stanzas that alternated with stanzas sung by the choir.18 A nod to this practice would be appropriate in a journey through the musical traditions of the church, though local planners would have to carfeully consider how an alternatim rendering would affect the overall length and balance of the journey. Two settings that could be used for the Pange lingua melody in this way are: de Grigny, Nicolas. Setting in Livre d’Orgue. Schott, ED 1877 (1967). Hakim, Naji. Pange lingua pour orgue (variations).

Scripture References Mark 14:3–9 Leadership Helps Planners looking to emphasize themes of reconcilliation and God’s gift of grace will want to pay close attention to this text. Of this hymn, Susan Palo Cherwien notes: “Written for the 25th anniversary of the ordination of women in the ELCA and its predecessors, the hymn is based on the account of the woman with the jar of ointment (Mark 14:3–9). It celebrates the hidden treasures in all God’s people—female and male, clergy and lay—with Christ at their center.”26

Planning the Journey Reflections

87

About the Reflections

To help guide the journey, four reflections, weaving together insights from throughout the centuries, were pre-recorded by varied voices and projected at the Atlanta event. Some may choose to download and play these pre-recorded videos from the companion website34 while others may choose to have the reflections spoken in real time by a diversity of readers. If the latter is preferred, the texts have been provided here (pages 89–99). The welcome (page 88) and closing prayer (page 100) that frame the reflections were not recorded, but were offered “live” in Atlanta. These or similar words may be used to gather and send those who travel through your version of the journey. !

Welcome

Martin Luther reminds us that the prophets and the Church fathers and mothers “wanted nothing else to be associated as closely with the Word of God as music.” “Therefore,” Luther wrote, “we have so many hymns and Psalms where message and music join to move the listener’s soul, while in other living beings and sounding bodies music remains a language without words. After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to us to let us know that we should praise God with both word and music, namely by proclaiming the Word of God through music and by joining sweet melodies with words.”35 !

35 Martin Luther, “Preface to Georg Rhau’s Symphoniae iucundae,” in Luther’s Works, Vol. 53, ed. Ulrich S. Leopold (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1965), 323–324.

89

Reflection 1

The Church’s journey in art and song might well begin with the “Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs”36 that the earliest Christians sang, making melody to the Lord in their hearts, giving thanks to God for everything in the name of Jesus, as they gathered to devote themselves “to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.”37

And it would include the third-century fresco of the three women

coming to the empty tomb by light of Easter’s dawn, surrounded by other scenes from scripture painted on the walls of the baptistery in a house-church, wordlessly proclaiming the sacred story of God’s saving love.

The women stand ready to greet the newly baptized, rising from their own watery burial into Christ, and to welcome them into the communion of saints, the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. !

36 Ephesians 5:18–20. 37 Acts 2:42.

90

The Spirit who gathered those followers around Christ Jesus, the living and abiding Word of God, present for them in that holy community and in that sacred bath and meal and story, continues to call, create and sustain the Church through the very same means of grace.

The Reformers of the sixteenth century

knew that the Spirit was not creating a new church —a never-before-gathered church—in their day. In their foundational and central confession, presented in Augsburg in 1530, they wrote concerning the Church, “It is also taught that at all times there must be and remain one holy, Christian church. It is the assembly of all believers among whom the gospel is purely preached and the holy sacraments are administered according to the gospel.”38

Susan Palo Cherwien,

a Lutheran poet and hymn text writer, invites us to meditate on God’s life-giving Word active and alive whenever, wherever the Church gathers to worship in Word and sacrament. !

38 Robert Kolb and Timothy J. Wengert, eds., The Book of Concord: The Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church (Minneapolis: Fortress, 2000), 42.

91

“Even now God’s Word is causing newness to spring forth. It is this Word that is present in the trust of the worshiping people. It is this Word that is active in the openness of prayer. It is this Word that is tasted and transforming in the bread and wine. This Word drowns and revives in the baptismal waters. This Word knits together diverse people into one body for praise. This Word lives in the caring hands and gentle glances of God's people.”39 !

39 Susan Palo Cherwien, "Semper reformanda,” unpublished, © 2007 Susan Palo Cherwien.

92

Reflection 2

What shall we say amid our joyful songs of praise when we face the wrongs that are part of the Lutheran journey, the suffering and harm inflicted on others, the wounds that still scar Christ’s Body?

And what of the dividing walls we are building or are content to live beside in our own day?

How can we sing the Lord’s song with the taste of dust and bitter ashes in our mouths?

We are given songs to sing at such a time as this. We cry out with the Psalmist:

Have mercy on us, O God, according to your steadfast love. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.40

We are bold to borrow language,

words prayed by the Jewish people at Yom Kippur, their holy day of atonement, words that compel the entire alphabet to speak the truth about the sin that separates us from God and from the neighbors we are given to love. !

40 Psalm 51:1a, 3b, 10, Evangelical Lutheran Worship (Minneapolis: Augsburg Fortress, 2006), adapt.

93

“Hear our prayer; do not ignore our plea. We are neither so insolent nor so obstinate as to claim

that we are righteous, without sin, for we have surely sinned. We abuse, we betray, we are cruel. We destroy, we embitter, we falsify. We gossip, we hate, we insult. We jeer, we kill, we lie. We mock, we neglect, we oppress. We pervert, we quarrel, we rebel. We steal, we transgress, we are unkind. We are violent, we are wicked, we are xenophobic. We yield to evil, we are zealots for bad causes. You always forgive transgressions. Hear the cry of our prayer. Pass over the transgressions of a people who turn away from transgressions. Blot out our sins from your sight.”41 O God, we plead,

you who reconciled the world to yourself in Christ, come now and reconcile all people.

Restore to us the joy of your salvation and our mouths, once more, shall proclaim your praise.42 !

41 The confession from Yom Kippur evening service, Mahzor for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, ed. Rabbi Jules Harlow (New York: Rabbinical Assembly, 1972), 403, 405. 42 Psalm 51:12a, 15b.

94

Reflection 3

How can we keep from singing? So great is God’s faithfulness,

so wide God’s mercy, so deep the abyss of God’s love.

That’s how Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran theologian,

envisions God’s saving grace: “The abyss of the love of God in Christ Jesus” that “swallows up past sin.” He writes: “The past and future of our whole lives

are merged in one in the presence of God. The whole of the past is comprised in the word forgiveness. The whole of the future is in safe keeping in the faithfulness of God. The future will be without sin,

a life which proceeds from God.” “All this takes place,” he continues, “when Christ comes to us.

… [T]he life of the one who experiences the presence of Christ is no longer a lost life, but it has become a justified life, a life justified by grace alone.”43 !

43 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics, ed. Eberhard Bethge (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1962), 79–80.

95

We who once were lost, now are found in Christ and made members of his Body. In the rescuing light of God’s word,

we become aware of the God who loves us; we see our neighbors and their need; we even see, as if for the first time, the gift of all that God has made and are able to take our place in creation’s choir, singing “the praise of the triune God.”44

Praying alone in her small hut next to a church in medieval England,

Julian of Norwich “saw” God’s love for the entire universe, and from that showing, that sighting, she brings this wisdom:

“Grace transforms our failings full of dread into abundant, endless comfort,

… our failings full of shame into a noble, glorious rising, … our dying full of sorrow into holy, blissful life.”45

What does this mean? It means God’s creative Word is still creating,

for “if anyone is in Christ there is a new creation.”46 !

44 Ibid. 45 Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love, transl. Grace Warrack [1901], http://www.ccel.org/j/julian/revelations/. 46 2 Corinthians 5:17.

96

Nadia Bolz-Weber, Lutheran pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints, writes: Grace isn’t about God creating humans as flawed human beings

and then acting all hurt when we inevitably fail and then stepping in like the hero to grant us grace —like saying, “Oh, it’s OK, I’ll be a good guy and forgive you.”

It’s God saying,

“I love the world too much to let your sin define you and be the final word. I am a God who makes all things new.”47

Such grace is amazing. This is most certainly true. !

47 Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: the Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner and Saint (Place: Faith Words, 2013), 49–50.

97

Reflection 4

Through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come. From its beginning this one and only Church of God

has faced dangers and snares, suffered dissent and division. From the beginning the Holy Spirit has been reforming the Church,

calling us to repentance and renewal, stirring up the gifts of God within us, so that we might ever more fully embody and ever more clearly make visible the unity that is ours in Christ Jesus.

For, “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one Baptism.”48

The Spirit was freshly stirring when in the 1960s

the Second Vatican Council opened windows for ecumenical dialog, including rich and fruitful conversations with Lutherans, addressing the wrongs and the wounds on both sides of that divide, exploring all that unites us, and working toward fuller reconciliation for the sake of our one calling: to be Christ’s body in the world. !

48 Ephesians 4:4–5.

98

The Vatican Council’s Decree on Ecumenism pictures the Church, “not just as a collection of individual pilgrims, but as itself pilgrim;”49

And reform, not as an occasional event on the Church’s journey, but as the practice of responding to the Spirit’s promptings all along the way.

It reads, “Every renewal of the church

essentially consists in an increase of fidelity to her own calling Christ summons the church,

as she goes her pilgrim way, to that continual reformation of which she always has need.”50

‘Tis grace that brought us safe thus far, and grace will lead us on. !

49 Richard R. Gaillardetz and Catherine Clifford, Keys to the Council: Unlocking the Teachings of Vatican II (Collegeville: Liturgical Press, 2012), 165. 50 “Decree on Ecumenism,” in Vatican Council II, The Basic Sixteen Documents: A Completely Revised Translation in Inclusive Language, ed. Austin Flannery, OP (Northport, NY:

Costello Publishing Company, 1996), 507–508.

99

In his book, Why Christian? Douglas John Hall, a minister of the United Church of Canada, reminds us that we are not given “a blueprint for the future.

There is no five-year-plan, nor five-hundred-year-plan either!”51 The church as we know it, he writes, is “only a beginning

—oh, the beginning of a beginning of a beginning!”

“Remember,” he continues,

“we’re talking about a people who are ‘on the way,’ who haven’t ‘arrived.’

Every day they start the journey over again, remembering that they’ve deviated from the route often enough before, and so not pretending to know exactly where they are, and certainly not presuming they’re going to arrive inevitably and unscathed at their destination.

If they relied on their own past experience, or their expertise as ‘travelers,’ they would soon give up the journey.

But they do not trust in themselves; they trust the One who said, ‘Follow me.’”52 !

51 Douglas John Hall, Why Christian? For Those on the Edge of Faith (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1998), 176. 52 Ibid., 123.

100

Closing Prayer

A prayer may be offered using these or similar words:

O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ our Lord.53 Amen. !
