This expression of Psalm 148 was submitted by Ed Willmington, who wrote it with Clayton J. Schmit. The nature of Psalm 148 is total exuberance as all of nature offers praise to God.

Psalm 148

How does this psalm piece interpret the psalm? 
Originally composed for the Lausanne Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, “Let All the Heavens” was created to include drummers, dancers, choir, orchestra, and children, with a repeatable congregational refrain. Liturgically it served as the psalm reading in an Anglican African liturgy. Because the psalm speaks of the whole creation praising God, it seemed that to gather as many resources as possible was appropriate to interpret the psalm. 

It could serve as the psalm reading in the liturgy and could also function as an effective Call to Praise.

Receptive Ecumenism in Neighborhoods, Soccer Fields, and Workplaces

This session will explore how to talk about differences in Catholic and Protestant worship. Every time we talk with a neighbor, teammate, or coworker from a different Christian tradition about what we do in worship and why, we are practicing liturgical theology. When marked by both conviction and humility, these conversations have rich potential for building holy friendships and deepening our worship of God. Yet they can also backfire, perpetuating stereotypes and leaving us unsure about the point of common practices. Come to this session to learn from veteran participants in both formal ecumenical dialogues and informal neighborhood conversations about how we can engage with believers across the Protestant-Catholic divide in constructive and healing ways.
