"As regards the setting, the music, the degree of understanding on the part of the majority, the command of language of those who spoke or prayed, or any helps toward atmosphere, sensitivity, or taste in worship, the San Miguel church left everything to be desired. But Almighty God does come and in fact dwell with men. And He, whne He was God manifest in the flesh, left a simple command, "This do in rememberance of me." Obedience to that command is possible nearly anywhere, anytime, by any who are willing. It does not require much in the way of visible trappings, of emotional enthusiasm, or of intellectual vigor."
--Elisabeth Elliot, missionary to the Colorado Indians in Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Ecuador.

to me-the main word in this whole paragraph that stands our is WILLING. THat is the first thing I thought of after I read it.
oops- i meant that stands OUT.sorry!
I like the reminder "this do in rememberance of me." i think we forget that one pretty much all the time.
The Reformation ushered in the idea that True Worship (Church being the Church)happens when the Word is properly(whatever that means)proclaimed and the Sacraments are Rightly(Whatever that means)administered. For me the church is where people gather in the name of Christ. People who suck, but realize that they do, and are thankful that they are enrobed in the clothes of the King...that and only that makes us beautiful...that and only that makes us worthy...that and only that makes us HIS BODY..the Church..those called out from darkness into light.
