U2-charist

The Episcopal Church has begun to use the music of U2 for communion services. It's not just a youth service but a traditional Episcopal liturgy that uses U2's best selling songs as hymns. Check out the article in www.usatoday.com So often when we participate in a worship gathering, we end up talking about the music. Did you sing hymns or was it contemporary music? Was the organ played or were drums used? Did you sing from a hymnal or words off a screen? Now we can use U2 songs. I have to admit too much of the discussion about worship centers on the music. After all, it's all worship. Even our everyday life experiences are to be filled with worship. A grand worship experience is described in the Bible in Revelation chapter 5. So we can talk about the music all we want, but worship is not just about music. What kind of music do you like at church? Would you use U2 songs? What really makes worship happen for God? These are the days my friend.

There is another extreme, a church I know has actually removed the worship (singing) part of the service out completely. It's like one massive Bible Study. Two friends I know attend it, it's like, Xena church?
