Worship is essential to everything we are and do as believers. True worship is better experienced than defined. William Temple, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1942-1944, renders a good definition of worship.
“Worship is the submission of all of our nature to God. . . . To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God . . . . To feed the mind with the truth of God. . . . To purge the imagination by the beauty of God. . . . To open the heart to the love of God. . . . To devote the will to the purpose of God. . . . And all this gathered up in adoration is the greatest of human expressions of which we are capable.”
