Ritual change is unavoidable when a worship takes cross-cultural confluence, under the pressures of intercultural conflict is necessarily to avoid self-conscious. Like I had gone a hookah bar with my friends and they forced me smoke some good flavors, but I was feeling embraced because I didn’t like ever hookahs or other things like this. And that time I was feeling hesitate to smoke and this condition was like self conscious. But now I’m not like that. I have just followed some one and I would like to suggest you spirit like this phrase: Why do I feel self-conscious or, *gulp*, maybe embarrassed? I need picked up by my Father. I swear that I will do in worship whatever I feel led to do.

@Tony, I think it takes constant, deliberate effort to discard that wretched self-consciousness. I've been a Christian for 34 years, I'm comfortable in charismatic circles, and I'm still trying to throw it off. Barry Wallaces last blog post..How to watch a movie

To Sally: Your comments regarding spirituals was well taken. I delivered a lecture at an Afternoon lecture series at Columbia U., in the Summer of 1971, "The Stanley Elkins' Thesis: A Critique." in which I made reference to the spirituals as some of the wrld's most creative and great music as proof that slavery could not so crush the Black personality as to make nonentities out of them. I had other material, but in any case I wrote a prospectus for a Doctoral Dissertation in Black History which I never did get to complete. However, I did do my Doctor of Ministry Project at SEBTS on Christian Love and Race Relations. Most white folks have no idea of how great the history of African Americans actually is, and it is all the greater in the light of the efforts made to suppress them or worse.

Indeed, they are very enthusiastic when it comes to the Puritans. Well then, if it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, then even they will appreciate it!

@Jennifer Sabin: Thanks for the comment. I usually compile the links and the summaries. It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 9 Marks guys. They are really excited about the puritans : )
