An essay on what it means to be a liturgical congregation.
"The purpose of the service is to worship God, to exalt Christ, to receive all the blessings of heaven through Word and Sacrament, and to offer our sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving. Nothing is to be introduced merely for the sake of artistic prettiness or pomp. Beauty is not merely prettiness; in fact, beauty in the church is distinct from that of the world in that it is objective - it must exalt God, while secular art is subjective - it exalts the artist."
Rev. Paul H.D. Lang in Trinity bulletin of March 26, 1944
