My people are on to the OED as we speak....<br />As to the substance of your comment, see my next post...simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470335172330595542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9901815.post-87609051776291783712010-05-05T15:18:14.576+01:002010-05-05T15:18:14.576+01:00Rats, first year in about 15 I haven't been to...Rats, first year in about 15 I haven't been to the Assembly and the blogosphere is awash with people saying it was the best one for a long time. For the sake of others, I must stay away more often!<br /><br />Good to see Prism continues to get top ratings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9901815.post-254865025560790762010-05-05T10:53:06.782+01:002010-05-05T10:53:06.782+01:00Nice one Simon.

As an understanding of worship I'd go with this. <br /><br />I'd be interested to hear in what ways Prism-style worship (hey maybe this will become the new label instead of alt worship)is more amenable to what you hope to achieve than traditional worship (which is also a catch-all phrase that covers a multitude of sings). How does one form tend to serve the ends you identify and the other tend to hinder them?<br /><br />Also I'd be interested to hear how Prism-style-worship (see it's catching on, and it's grown an extra hyphen; how organic is that?!) attends to the other vital element when engaging with God's world in worship, namely a similarly rich and robust engagement with the Christian story and Christian practices i.e. the intentional nurture and appropriation of Christian culture. Also, please, can I have a prize for the longest sentence in a comment ever?<br /><br />Finally, let me make it clear that my reason for asking these questions is not to oppose Prism-Style-Worship (capitals!) but to encourage the kind of reflection that is, I hope, likely to make it stronger.Glen Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893819289223413110noreply@blogger.com
