VOL. 11, NO. 6 | Lift Up Your Voice

In this issue, we explore difference in worship in the church. Here on earth in the midst of this present age it is painfully obvious, however, that worship has become one of the church’s more divisive activities, resulting sometimes in multiple congregations gathering under the same roof and supposedly belonging to the same church who insist on expressing their one faith differently. Does the church have to wait until the end of the age to gather once more as one people praising our one Lord with one voice? Or can the rich variety of our divergent cultures be woven together into a harmony of song and music that compliments and strengthens our common confession? Though sometimes painful and often frustrating, examination of our commitments, our biases, and our preferences concerning the music of worship is crucial as we seek to celebrate our one faith.
