Thought on 04.14.11

Worship is not principally an educational exercise but an encounter with God.

I think that is much the same as what someone else said here:

Thanks, Mimi. Amen, Klady. As the hymn says, "Let my soul, like Mary, be thine earthly sanctuary..."

I agree. Now, if we could just convince the "sermon sacramentalists" in Sydney!

(And wow! I hadn't initially planned the consonance, but what fun it was to discover!)

Tobias,
I have a slightly different take/twist on your thought. It is both an encounter with God and a call to share God with the rest of the world. It is both entering into a relationship with God and man. One necessarily requires the other.

The difficulty is the paucity of educational efforts, so it becomes apparently desirable to draft an encounter with God to serve as education.

Amen, Jan. Which is no doubt a contributing factor to packing it all into the liturgy.
Happy Easter!
