“For more than 50 years, Call to Worship and its precursor journals have fostered deep dialogue among pastors, musicians, and scholars around the theology and practice of worship,” said the Rev. Dr. David Gambrell, associate for worship with the Presbyterian Mission Agency, who sees the new website as an opportunity to expand these conversations in digital spaces and draw in fresh perspectives.
New subscribers can use the coupon code CTWNewSub57 to receive $5 off an online-only subscription for the current Volume 57.
Call to Worship is published by the Office of Theology and Worship of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in partnership with the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. The new website helps subscribers navigate easily to new articles and content as well as through its archives. There is also the interactive space “Community,” where subscribers are invited to share their best ideas and practices in planning and leading worship.
Calltoworship.org features additional music, art and articles in a digital space.
“The new website is truly a live version of the journal, giving subscribers the ability to access full weekly liturgies in addition to the resources published in our annual Lectionary Companion issue,” said Call to Worship’s managing editor, the Rev. Sally Ann McKinsey. The website will also feature additional articles, audio and visual content to enhance the themes of each print issue. “I’m also excited about our new online exhibition space, Assemble. I hope the website will be a generative space where the work of the journal can continue in a new form, facilitating dialogue and community among our subscribers and beyond.”
Gambrell said, “We hope the new website will become a go-to resource for planners and leaders of worship in a variety of cultural and ecclesial contexts — a place to find practical ideas and provocative insights on a convenient and user-friendly platform.”
