Description

The principal purpose of this article is to honor the rite for Holy Baptism in the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW, 1978) and those on the Inter-Lutheran Commission on Worship (ILCW) and its Liturgical Texts Committee (LTC) (1) who prepared it, and to consider whether the baptismal rite met the goals set for it. A secondary and minor purpose is to compare the LBW rite with the baptismal rites in the two predecessor books of the LBW--the Service Book and Hymnal (SBH, 1958), which relegated the baptismal rite to its Occasional Services Book (OSB, 1962), and The Lutheran Hymnal (TLH, 1941) as found in its companion Volume The Lutheran Agenda (TLA, n.d.); and, also to a minor degree, with the new provisional materials in Renewing Worship 3: Holy Baptism and Related Rites (RW3, 2002), which is being reviewed and revised even as this is being written. Toward all these ends, an attempt will be made to evaluate the first principal goal of LBW itself--"To restore to Holy Baptism the liturgical rank and dignity implied by Lutheran theology, and to draw out the baptismal motifs in such acts as the confession of sin and the burial of the dead," (2)--by examining five hallmarks of the LBW rite, which I enumerated in a previous article in Currents: (3) paschal essence, pneumatic nature, corporate understanding, eucharistic context, and ritual character.
