Who, how, when and where we worship

The whole assembled Church participates in worship, with distinct ministries and roles. Scripture, sacramental signs, sacred time, music, buildings, and the liturgical year serve a common encounter with Christ. Participation includes attentive listening, responses, silence, prayer, and a life shaped by what is celebrated. Local arrangements and legitimate ritual diversity should not be confused with universal requirements.

Follow the sources

Make it part of your story.

How can silence be an active part of worship?
