We are continuing the annual pattern of reflection on Worship. This year we look at the formative aspects. This is difficult because our culture tells us to discover (or create) our identity. This opposes our call to be formed in Christ–likeness. Many cultural commentators have pointed out these problems but often fail to give compelling alternatives. To find answers, we will look at the imaginative retellings of the history of Israel that the early Apostles used in their preaching. Then we will consider tangible practices for reimagining the stories that shape us today.
