On Worship
Here's something from Children of God I found particularly insightful with regard to the subject of worship.
"Go back down the mountain, my heart," Suukmel advised serenely. "Listen to Isaac's music again. Remember what you thought when you first heard it. Know that if we are children of one God, we can make ourselves one family in time."
"And if God is just a song (a fiction)?" Ha'anala asked, alone and frightened.
Suukmel did not answer for a while. Finally she said, "Our task is the same."
I loved this passage. Even for those for whom God does not exist, worship is still the same and we all need to learn to sing together. If I understand the ending of The Story correctly, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
