Simply put, convergent worship seeks to recover classic, orthodox content— the language, pattern, and texture of the ancient church— and communicate it in a truly contemporary manner and on several levels. Convergent worship is Ancient-Future. How?
Convergent worship says…
…that recovering a biblical theology of worship is most important.
…that the theology of revelation and response that orders God’s biblical encounters with humankind should also order our worship.
…that truly biblical worship is participative, and cannot possibly be passive.
…that style is no longer the “tail that wags the dog” and that we must look for ways to bring the worshiping Body of Christ together.
…that worship is more than music.
…that worship should be creatively and generously interwoven with Scripture and prayer.
…that we can appreciate the whole repertoire and vocabulary of the church and that we can look to, listen to, and learn from the past.
…that the early church has much more in common with the postmodern world that we now live in than the modern world we just left behind.
