The role of the people in services of corporate worship is [. . .] a
most important one. If it is true that, in a sense, a liturgy is a drama, then
is it likewise true that in the Lutheran church all worshipers are not merely
onlookers, but dramatis personae, performers of the Liturgy, Onlookers may
dream away time and while away the moments, but performers must be alert and on
the job; they must exert themselves and put forth effort. Those who fault The
Lutheran Liturgy, who see in it only a form and little that is of spiritual
value, often betray with their remarks that they do not really participate as
they should, but merely look on; [. . .] it would be well for them to begin
with themselves before they fault others.
