It's a great document.<br><br>As I have gone on through the years, I have reflected more on the <br>confession aspect.<br><br>In the light of the way the Gospel and letters of Paul describe the <br>people of faith, our present "unworthiness" is not emphasised, but the <br>greatness of what we have received, which was not earned. We are a "new <br>Creation", made "friends with God" (See 2 Corinthians 5:16ff for <br>example). To me the confession is more about the shock of discovering <br>my/our having forgotten this wonderful gift over and over. The <br>thanksgiving is in rediscovering it, having it reaffirmed and sensing <br>the power within and among us to live it out.<br><br>I recognise that for some in our community what I have just written <br>might be controversial, and for others illuminating, and I welcome all <br>responses.<br><br>Best wishes<br><br>Richard<br><br><br><br>You are right: there are four parts of worship:<br>Thanksgiving, Confession,Praise and Dedication or commitment.<br>We never began worship without direct acknowledgement of who we pray, <br>then confession of our unworthiness for all we have received, which <br>leads us to remember not only the goodness of our own lives but the <br>amazing creative love of God, which in turn calls for our dedication or <br>commitment.<br><br>-- <br>Transforming organisations and individuals towards a future worth living now<br>Tel: 02 9896 3839, Fax: 02 9896 3904<br>Mail: 18 Sturdee St, Wentworthville NSW 2145, Australia<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OE mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br><a href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a><br></p>
