WOWAW 5
This week’s Words of Wisdom About Worship:
Whatever else churches may be and do, [Word and Sacrament] are central and should reflect the church’s deepest convictions and basic character. The proclamation of the Word and the rituals of baptism and communion depict an alternative world — indeed, the true one — and participation in them constitutes the church’s powerful method of education and training (i.e., paideia) that resocializes believers in every significant relationship and opens up astonishing new possibilities for Christian-human existence.
David Naugle, “Worship, Worldview, and Way of Life”
