Talk:Die Deutsche Liturgie

Protestant liturgy
Do you happen to know which Christian denomination Mendelssohn composed this for? I'd think it would have been the Lutheran church, but I'm not sure. We could surely be more precise here than specifying "Protestant liturgy", which is an extremely broad and heterogeneous category. —  RAVEN PVFF   · talk  · 13:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The court in Berlin was Reformed, but I believe that the composer would have liked to see it applied broadly. "Protestant" is vs. "Catholic", where it came from - Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:03, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Learning: yes, the court was reformed, but - quoting from our article: "In 1817, under the auspices of King Frederick William III of Prussia, the community of the Supreme Parish Church, like most Prussian Calvinist and Lutheran congregations joined the common umbrella organization named Evangelical Church in Prussia (under this name since 1821), with each congregation maintaining its former denomination or adopting the new united denomination." - It was for this united Protestant Church in Prussia. - I believe that "Evangelical" is a bad translation of "evangelisch", sounding like evangelism. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
