Revival and the Liturgy

From Bishop Bo Giertz,

This, then, is our program: to learn of the past that we may be prepared to
meet the coming day, to immerse ourselves so deeply in the great life stream of
the church that we may be equipped to proclaim the Word of God in a new age, and
to modern men and women, and to live His life in the manner which the new
century in the history of the church demands.

From Liturgy and Spiritual Awakening

More quotes:

Awakening is the fire that flames forth in dead souls.
Liturgy is the work of the same Spirit in preserving the flame which has
been lighted.
Probably we could express the difference between the two by saying that
awakening is like the fire of the Lord which fell upon the water-drenched altar
of Elijah. It is the uncalculable, sovereign invasion of God, which
reveals His power among the heathen. Liturgy, on the other hand, is the
fire which burns upon the altar in the temple and about which the Scriptures
proclaim that it never be extinguished. Awakening is lightning from above
that ignites a new fire. Liturgy is the flame of the Lord already burning
among us, lighting and warming the faithful.
