Abstract
JANSEN VAN RENSBURG, Marthinus J.. The building up of a local missional congregation: The understanding of God and liturgy. In Skriflig (Online) [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.1, pp.1-7. ISSN 2305-0853. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/ids.v52i1.2335.
The purpose of this article is to investigate the understanding of God by members of the Netherdutch Reformed Church (Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika [NHKA]), their liturgical experience and its influence on the development of a missional congregation. The world is currently in the midst of a wave of changes that have far-reaching implications for the church and, specifically, for the NHKA. In a changing world it is imperative that church members understand the value of the different metaphors of God as well as its value for the development of the missional congregation. From a practical-theological approach, this article aims to look at the influence of the liturgy of life on the development of a missional congregation.
