Leitourgia 2026: In Our Own Languages

Where
Leitourgia 2026
Leitourgia is a Nordic network that offers a meeting place in seminar form for the exchange of knowledge and reflection on Christian worship, where the theoretical reflection of research on rites, the history of worship, church music and liturgical theology is combined with the experiences and needs of practical worship life.
The association is non-denominational and does not report to any main organization. - Meeting in Reykjavík this year, we are commemorating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther´s Deutsche Messe, the beginning of a liturgical revolution – worshipping in the languages that the people in the church understood and used in their everyday life.
But what does it mean, in the Nordic churches today, to worship “In Our Own Languages” – also in terms of the “languages” of music, context, and even pastoral care?
