Carol Noren helps lay people evaluate what they do Sunday morning and suggests positive steps for making worship better. She shows lay people how to work with their pastors and demonstrates how to make worship the work of the people. Separate chapters provide an overview of worship and explore the role of laity, the physical setting, the music, the sermon, and the liturgy. Each chapter also includes a series of questions that help individuals evaluate and respond to the practice in their church.
Carol M. Noren is Professor of Homiletics at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois.
