Worship
An amazing definition of worship by William Temple, former Archbishop of Caterbury. This is from his "Readings in St. John's Gospel", one of the finest books written on John. Not bad for an Anglican!
Wow! [JS]Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose--and all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.

hey,
this sounds great.
now, how do we implement this concept in our worship?
I think that is up to the music director and he has 30 minutes for a solution
:)
cool.
i think eating donuts during the service will complete this holistic worship.
oh,
can i also ban music from worship?
i think it would be a distraction from our donuts, i mean worship.
