Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Congregation in Church: A Plan Guide to Reverent and Intelligent Participation in the Public Services of Holy Church, With Brief Information Concerning the Six Points, and the Principal Rites, Ceremonies, Vestments, Ornaments, Seasons, Feasts, Liturgical Colours, Ecclesiastical All worship must be carried on by means of ritual of some sort. All religious bodies, whether Christians, Mohammedans, Buddhists, idolaters, or whatever else, carry on their worship through the medium of forms, and rites, and ceremonies. A little reflection will prove to us that there is no other way of doing it. To sit still and silently contemplate the goodness of God, or dumbly appeal to Him in mental prayer, would be a kind of worship; but it would certainly not be a worship that, alone, would satisfy our selves, and we know from the Bible that it would not be a worship that, alone, would satisfy God. Bodily actions are, in fact, indispensable to the proper expression of mental worship. Forms of words, of prayer, of praise, of verse, of music, accompanied by attitudes, gestures, and ceremonies, - all these occur to us naturally at once as appropriate for use in worship. But what particular forms and ceremonies these are to be we cannot determine for ourselves, nor, indeed, as regards public worship, are we at liberty to do so.
