Ecclesiology and worship

One of the things that has sometimes puzzled me, and sometimes surprised me, is the way that the word “worship” seems to mean completely different things to Christians of different backgrounds and traditions.

Then I discovered this post that explained the link between ecclesiology and worship, and it helped to make it a little clearer: Until Translucent: “An interesting piece from the Duke Div School blog, answering a graduate who wrote in asking how to deal with a congregation that didn’t seem to appreciate the sacraments. The answer is quite insightful and helps me along a bit in my constant struggle to grasp how people formed in evangelicalism think about church (on a very basic, ‘why are we even here today?’ level).”

Thanks to Fr Andrew for the link to the Duke Divinity School blog, where the original was; it is well worth reading.
