Adult Forum: Pastor Detweiler, Lament in Lent  Loss, Spirituals & Liturgy
Channel: Upper Dublin Lutheran Church
Date: 2022-03-14

We are learning to live with a virus that reminds us daily that we are not in control. With it comes loss, loss that some of us have been reluctant to acknowledge. In the Bible loss leads to lament, crying out to the Lord. This Lent we will be calling on our biblical and liturgical traditions of lament. On the Sundays of Lent we will be singing at least one spiritual each week, engaging the tradition of lament that arose from slavery. In this Forum presentation, we will reflect on that tradition in the context of the church’s traditions and its biblical background.
