J. Jackson, lead singer for ApologetiX here yet again. You know, wonderful things happen when we worship together as the Body of Christ.
Here's great quote I heard while at the worship seminar I attended earlier this week. It's from St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, an important early church father, who lived from 349-407:
"The psalm which occurred just now in the office blended all voices together, and caused one single fully harmonious chant to arise; young and old, rich and poor, women and men, slaves and free, all sang one single melody … All the inequalities of social life are here banished. Together we make up a single choir in perfect equality of rights and expression, whereby earth imitates heaven. Such is the noble character of the Church."
Powerful stuff!
