What is 'Worship'?
Rev. Burke posted a list of description of 'Worship'. In addition, I've come out with a few:
- Worship is the public praxis of informing the world of what the world really is, and should be.
- Worship is a self-transcending action that locates the worshiper within the line of tradition of Christians from past generations to future ones. Constituting him/her within the apostolic/universal church, the body of Christ.
- Worship is a socio-political symbol act out to the society and government, indicating the existent of a higher polity in the world.
- Worship is a warrant for the transmission of God's redemptive story from generation to generation.
- Worship is a reminder of humans' essence as fallen creature on one hand; as redeemed saints on the other.
- Finally, worship is something Christians do when they have nothing better to do... heee
Any others??

The conception of 'worship' in this post and in that of Burke is kind of broad.
how about : worship is the act of knowing God and to be known by Him.
hmm... ya, sure, Hao. Knowing God and being known by God is a very intimate way of saying it. In other way, it feels almost like being exposed nakedly in front of another person, from the stand point of view of human in the face of the divine Majesty.
