The fundamental issue of worship style is that worship must be participatory. Worship is a synergism of divine and human activity; it is dialogic. Worship that is a monologue, either of God or of the people, fails to meet the criteria of the divine-human relationship modeled by God’s Incarnation and the church’s theological reflection. —Robert E. Webber, “Blended Worship,” from Exploring the Worship Spectrum, 185.
