Abstract

The impetus for this thesis project was the request for the preparation of a new edition of Oremus, the worship resource previously prepared for the Lutheran Student Association of America in 1965. The original Oremus was built around the Daily Prayer Cycle. The initial vision for the new edition was to retain several of the Daily Offices, but broaden it to include contemporary hymns, texts and prayers written by students and campus ministry staff. Early in the project the question arose as to whether one generation can write a worship resource for another generation. Therefore, the editorial process included an extensive questionnaire that was sent to regional officers of the Lutheran Student Movement, (successor to the LSAA), along with a draft of Oremus, which they were to respond to on the questionnaire along with their local worshipping communities. The thesis includes an assessment of the responses, as well as theological and sociological foundations for the final edition of Oremus, which is now in its second printing.
