- Title
Die Gnade repräsentieren: ein Plädoyer für den evangeliumszentrierten Aufbau freier Gottesdienste.

Bartholomä, Philipp F.
- Abstract
The open (free or non-denominational) church service finds itself in a creative tension between the poles of traditional liturgy and pragmatic randomness. This article advocates establishing the basic elements of the Gospel as a structural building frame for worship services. Sketching such a Gospel-centered style of service, ten theses are put forward with both decidedly liturgical and expressly theological or missiological emphases. From a liturgical point of view, the sequence of God's grace inherent in the Gospel is particularly suitable to safeguard as identity markers the freedom and diversity of an open worship service on the one hand, and to guarantee its careful and theologically reflected presentation on the other. This approach will be suitable to offer substance and direction for free church services.
