This collection of conference proceedings have been presented at the annual Institute of Liturgical Studies (ILS) held at Valparaiso University. The scholars and practitioners that present at the Institute come from both the Lutheran tradition and from the wider Church.

It is our hope that that such presentations available here serve the Institute's mission "to renew the church's worship by nurturing and forming those who lead liturgy and song."

For more information on ILS, you can read its history here or visit the ILS website, https://www.valpo.edu/institute-of-liturgical-studies.
