The Worship Industry
Thursday, 13 September 2007 by Paul Dubuc.
I’m not a huge fan of Brian McLaren, but I really like what he has to say in the following video. The programmed worship experience does seem pretty hollow after awhile. And the attitude that we are consumers of the worship experience rather than participants in an offering of worship seems rather prevalent in many churches. The tight control and planning that goes into many programmed worship services is suffocating sometimes. I think much of it is motivated by the fear of what visitors might think if something a little off the plan happened. But who can really know what’s in the mind of the brave soul who walks through your church doorway for he first time? They might be turned off by artificial feel your well executed program!
