By orandi I mean the words, gestures, actions, and all that make up the particular practices of the church at prayer, often codified in prayer books, etc. Likewise, credendi refers to theological convictions—often articulated in documents (creeds, confessions, etc.) that codify those beliefs. On the use or misuse of lex orandi, lex credendi, see Michael Church, “The Law of Begging: Prosper at the End of the Day,” Worship 73, no. 5 (September, 1999): 442–53.
