## Summary *Reformed Worship* is a quarterly magazine published by the Christian Reformed Church in North America that covers liturgy, congregational song, and worship practice from a Reformed but ecumenically conversant stance. It is closely adjacent to the [[Calvin Institute of Christian Worship]] and sits inside the Convergence / blended-worship tradition most identified with Robert Webber. ## Tradition Mainline / Reformed. CRC institutional voice; regularly features contributors from outside the CRC. ## Relevance to this wiki *Reformed Worship* holds the convergence definition of [[Blended Worship]] — insisting that blended worship is about the shape of the whole service, not simply the mix of songs inside it. This distinction matters for any congregation trying to do theological work on its repertoire without reducing worship theology to a music-curation problem. The magazine is also a publishing venue for worship-music vetting and case studies on specific CCLI songs. ## Relationship to Calvin Institute of Christian Worship Not identical. The Calvin Institute is an academic/pastoral institute at Calvin University; *Reformed Worship* is a magazine from the CRC denomination's publishing arm (Faith Alive / CRC Publications). They overlap in audience and contributors but are distinct publications. ## Open questions - Does *Reformed Worship* maintain an ongoing CCLI-specific vetting column, or are its song-by-song evaluations episodic? - What is the magazine's current editorial stance on NAR-inflected worship music? ## Further reading - [[Blended Worship]] - [[Calvin Institute of Christian Worship]] - [[Worship Music Vetting Projects]]
