Worship: Freedom Of Imagination

[Chiangmai007]

"..I do think there is a great deal to be said for being imaginative about this, and, ironically, just as some people feel that being given a fixed form (a formula for family evening worship) constrains them, so the imperative to be spontaneous all the time is an extraordinary constraint on other people from which a liturgy actually frees them. Isn't that strange?" What beautiful awarenss. Sometimes reading the written prayers of others gives voice to my own...I am at one with them in God.

Marvelous to see and hear this magnificent New Testament scholar. His books are a treasure, and crucially important for scholars today when so many skeptics are muddying the waters. Thanks for this. Anne Rice.

I agree, Anne. Thank you for your insightful comments.

The part I liked best about this particular video is where he suggests that Christians need to focus more on worshiping as a family (2min mark & on). For nearly 100 years, the LDS faith (Mormons) has had a weekly program called "Family Home Evening" which does exactly what this pastor suggests.
