In worship, mainline Protestants pray as the Lord taught us, “deliver us from evil” but we don’t often speak of evil, the devil, or principalities and powers beyond that. Many of our traditions’ baptismal rites include a renunciation of evil, but we do not engage what that means for our life in Christ. Are there current local and global events and forces that ought to be renounced as evil? Should we include more liturgical language about renouncing evil? Do we practice living out the baptismal claim that we are delivered from evil? Faculty member Rev. Dr. Jen Lord and invited guest Mitred Archpriest Stephan Meholick look at liturgical/baptismal rites of renunciation of evil and compare and contrast worshiping traditions’ language about the forces of evil in order to explore these questions.
