Incorporating Children in Worship: Mark of the Kingdom

Description: Incorporating children in worship is a powerful and overlooked mark of Gods kingdom. This book argues that childrens full participation in worship signifies not only a vibrant faithful communion but also offers a critical window into the Spirits work of linking the church to Christ. Children have a vocation in worship. They embody the theological virtues in distinct ways that enrich the worship of the whole church. Moreover incorporating children reflects the difference in unity that is Gods triune life. Receiving children in their difference moves the worshipping body toward the telos of worship--glorification of God and sanctification of humanity--and habituates the worshipping body to incorporate other often more threatening kinds of difference.
