Session 9: ”Why is Orthodox Worship Liturgical?”

Why is the worship of the Orthodox Church liturgical, fixed, and repetitive? This is a common question asked about our faith. Today we examine the historical worship of God's people reaching back to Judaism. It is God Who instructs His people as to how He is to be worshipped, for He is worshipped eternally. The worship of the Church manifests the eternal worship of God here on the earth. And the way in which God's people worship Him on earth is the created role and purpose of the priesthood of all believers.
