Description / Abstract
This dissertation presents a close study of the Didache, Church Order Literature, and
early church worship liturgies. This research suggests these early documents preserved a means
for spiritual formation within Christian community that can be emulated in any Christian
worship context through intentional embedding of the core teaching of the Christian faith
(orthodoxy) or right belief in tandem with (praxis) or embodied practice in the liturgy by used to
order and guide (ordo) corporate worship services, small groups, Christian fellowship, Christian
conferencing, and Christian service.
Further, this study proposes that the earliest worship elements, forms, and spiritual
practices in Cyril’s Jerusalem ushered in a universally accessible Christocentric imaginative
worship form that became a means for the formation of Christian identity through immersive
experience in Christian community. The culmination of this dissertation is an invitation for
Wesleyan-Arminian leaders and congregations of the Georgia District and USA Canada Region
to critically examine and honestly evaluate what the order, worship, fellowship, church
administration, and service of their local church family is proclaiming and producing.
