A History of Worship

A History of Christian Worship: Ancient Ways, Future Paths explores centuries of worship practices, as seen through the eyes of Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox believers. In the first DVD, "The Word," we see how Scripture, stained glass, sermons, and creeds shaped modern worship practices since the earliest days of the Christian faith.

DVD Feature

Azusa Street Project. In 1906, William J. Seymour, a one-eyed black pastor, son of a slave, journeyed to Los Angeles, only to be locked out of the church that sent for him. He turned to prayer and God's answer was revival, which spawned many denominations and changed six million lives. [0707]
