What does the word worship mean to a Unitarian?
The word “worship” comes from the Old English word weorscippen, which literally means “worth-ship”.
...To worship means to assign worth to something, to give meaning to something, to consider those things or ideas of ultimate worth, to lift up the highest and holiest of human values...
AND when we do that, when we give meaning to something that in its essence is mysterious, ineffable, invisible...when we create space for that energy which is worthy... and it appears...we know, we recognize, we are moved by that which is sacred, holy, an energy that makes life worthwhile...makes life make sense...
From Rev. Ann Marie Alderman
