Service of WorshipReformation Sunday

Parents’ and Families WeekendOctober 30, 2011

Eleven o’clock in the morning

We extend a warm welcome to parents, and other family members of Duke students, with us today. On October 31, 1517, theologian and monk Martin Luther wrote a letter to his archbishop protesting the Church’s sale of indulgences. Luther copied and distributed the letter, which came to be known as The 95 Theses, at All Saints Church in Wittenberg, Germany that same day. Luther’s writing was translated and printed and spread throughout Europe within a matter of weeks, accelerated by the recent invention of the printing press. His writings became one of the more significant influences in the religio-political upheaval and reformation of the Church in the 1500s. We join many churches in marking the last Sunday in October as Reformation Sunday–an opportunity to reflect on our Christian heritage.

Portrait of Martin Luther by Lucas Cranach, 1529.

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

offertory Psalm XLVI (God Is Our Refuge) John Ness Beck (1930-1987)

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth be removed, and mountains be carried away to the very midst of the sea. Though the waters roar and the mountains quake at his majesty. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle, the holy place of the Lord. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; he shall defend her from the night through the dawn. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted above all the nations, I will be exalted upon the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper he amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. His everlasting love will guide us from above. All glory to his name, from age to age the same: his kingdom is forever. Amen. Alleluia. —Psalm 46 and Martin Luther

*DoxoloGy lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise God above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

This morning we give thanks for the Duke University Libraries. We celebrate their commitment to provide for the university and the larger community a place for self-education and discovery, preserve in perpetuity the accumulated knowledge of people of all cultures and viewpoints, and promote scholarship and the creation of new ideas. A representative brings a Kindle and an 1883 edition of Beowulf.

In Durham, we give thanks for those with mental and those with physical disabilities, and those who accompany them along their way. Congregation member Gabriel Tempest brings forward a piece of his artwork.

This was the practice of the Western Church in ancient times, from at least the fourth century onward. The gospel has a special status because in it are recorded the very words of Jesus himself. Placing its reading at the center of our worship reflects this authority—it makes it clear the gospel stands at the very center of the Chapel’s faith and life. Like the opening procession and closing recession, the gospel procession displays the pilgrim character of the church. We invite the congregation to turn to face the gospel, as an embodiment of the repentance the gospel asks of us. Duke Chapel has an interdenominational foundation: this is one way we draw on all the riches of the Church’s liturgical heritage to enhance our encounter with the living God.
