Worship: 9.5 Theses

Gary Parrett, associate professor of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, wrote a thought-provoking article on worship for ChristianityToday.com in February 2005.  I know him as "Pastor Gary" from my NJ days when I was a young youth pastor and he was a well-respected and well-loved pastor working among Korean Americans. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Parrett and was pleasantly surprise when I can across this article by providence. The title of the article "9.5 Theses on Worship: A disputation on the role of music." Please read it and comment on it here.

Worship: Children in Worship?

For those pastors and leaders who have children in your church, what do you do with your children during worship? Do they worship with you or do they have children's church or Sunday School classes?  New Life Mission Church of Burkbank (Pastor Owen Lee) has their worship philosophy online which makes a case for the guiding principles of 1) regulative principle, 2) The dialogical rhythm of worship, 3) covenantal (family) worship. What do you think about this?
