Christian worship… involves then, an adoring acknowledgement: first of God’s cosmic splendor and otherness, next of his redemptive and transfiguring action revealed in history, and last of his immanent guidance of life. Christian worship is never a solitary undertaking. Both on its visible and invisible sides, it has a thoroughly social and organic character. The worshiper, however lonely in appearance, comes before God as a member of a great family; part of the communion of saints, living and dead. His own small effort of adoration is offered “in and for all.”
–Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941)
