Silence in Worship
spectacular musical celebrations, but today's WORSHIP QUOTE is an encouragement to also take advantage of actual silence in our worship of God. SILENCE IN WORSHIP In worship, silence is far more that the absence of sound. Silence constitutes a vital part of the divine-human dialogue. In silence, worshipers can experience interchanges with God that will not be known where silence does not prevail. -- C. Welton Gaddy, in THE GIFT OF WORSHIP, Broadman Press, 1992, as quoted in THE DIALOGUE OF WORSHIP: CREATING SPACE FOR REVELATION AND RESPONSE, by Gary A. Furr and Milburn Price, Smyth & Helwys, 1998.
