WORSHIP AS
A COMMUNAL
EXPERIENCE
Worship is transcultural, but it is also supertemporal.
Worship bridges time and enables all believers living
in the "now" to glimpse eternity. Whether it is in the
Preface of the Service of the Sacrament when we join
"with angels and archangels and with all the company
of heaven" or in the private moments of Compline as we
confess our sins "before the whole company of heaven,"
worship goes beyond the present and joins with that of
the great throng of angels and heavenly hosts.
