Concurrent with the development of this new hymnal, the Synod’s Agenda has been completely revised. Existing rites have been expanded, and a number of new rites have been added.
The LSB Agenda has been carefully organized and is divided into eight sections: |
 |
 |
Baptism, Confirmation, Membership
|
 |
 |
Pastoral Care |
 |
 |
Holy Matrimony |
 |
 |
Christian Burial |
 |
 |
Holy Ministry |
 |
 |
Auxiliary and Congregational Offices |
 |
 |
Rites of Blessing |
 |
 |
Ecclesiastical Rites |
Each section is preceded by an overview in which the rites for that section are placed in their context. In addition, an extended introduction of the entire Agenda examines at length the task of pastoral care.
Individual rites are preceded by notes that assist the pastor in the use of the rite. In cases where more extensive notes are required, they are divided into two sections, “General Notes” and “The Rite in Detail.”
In addition to a detailed table of contents, an index of all the rites is provided in the back to allow for quick reference.
