what is worship?

as a faith community this question should be at the front of our minds. i mean, if we don't know the answer to this question then what the heck are we doing?

tonight at immersion we are going to explore a different form of worship. that is nothing new for immersion but we are going to take worship in a different direction.

we are going to clean a park.

now, is this a form of worship or simply a good deed?

in immersion we have an ideology called edenism which means that we think things like recycling, pollution, mass energy consumption and the systematic destruction of non-renewable resources are spiritual issues. we desire to look at the world as the garden that god gave to us and treat it accordingly.

therefore, for us, cleaning a park is a spiritual expression of honour to god and an apology that our hedonism [yes, edenism is a play on this word] has taken this planet so far down such a destructive path. therefore, worship can be the act of picking up a piece of trash.

but only in the context of a service? i mean, if you or i pick up trash tomorrow when not in a defined worship time does it mean the same thing?

is worship something we consciosuly take time out of our day to do or can it be at all times? and if so, then what is so special about worship? if i can do it any time, in any way and at any place then what is the difference?

check out my vids section and the short film creation that is there (about 8 mins long). I am curious to see what your views on it are.
