[QUOTE="sculleywr, post: 65554062, member: 289167"] I actually like this question, because it gets to the heart of the matter. Here is a short and simple response: [INDENT] First, Worship is a manifestation of God's presence and action in the midst of His people. It is God who gathers His scattered people together, and it is He who reveals Himself as we enter into His presence. The Worship of the Orthodox Church very vividly expresses the truth that God dwells among His people and that we are created to share in His life. Second, Worship is our corporate response of thanksgiving to the presence of God and a remembrance of His saving actions - especially the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Orthodox Worship is centered upon God. He has acted in history, and He continues to act through the Holy Spirit. We are mindful of His actions and we respond to His love with praise and thanksgiving. In so doing we come closer to God. [/INDENT]from: [url=http://www.goarch.org/ourfaith/ourfaith7119]Worship — Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America[/url] [/QUOTE]
