O Come Let Us Worship (Corporate worship in the evangelical church)

Reacting to formless consumerism and reaching for the best of church tradition, Robert G. Rayburn became the vanguard of these modern integrative liturgies. His 1980 O Come, Let Us Worship sought to re-introduce evangelicalism to its history and liturgy. His order of service was a perceptive summary of North American traditions birthed in frontier revivalism combined with a respectful reiteration of Westminster Puritanism. The effect was an intentional honoring of Calvinistic roots and an instinctive echoing of more distant patristic (i.e., ancient Catholic) practices in a worship context dominated by forms of evangelicalism that venerated spontaneity over form. - Bryan Chapell.
