Worship practice

Like a good game – or a good novel – worship enfolds us for a time into a way of seeing the world. It is the one hour in the week when an entire community acknowledges a world where God rules, where evil is named, where hope abounds, where the Spirit is on the move. Like a game, worship can only be learned by doing. A long afternoon of reading the baseball rule book will not help you execute a well-placed bunt.
